and Girlfriends are also set to perform, with Sting doing a special virtual performance, and Nicole Scherzinger doing double duty as the event’s host and performer.The venue will be a spectacular one. According to the press release, Sete Cidades is a natural amphitheater that sits along two lakes inside the crater of an ancient volcano, and offers 360 degree views.
“Nature is the true headliner at the Atlantis Concert for the Earth,” said will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas in a statement. “It is a surreal other-worldly experience to perform on the rim of an extinct volcanic crater to celebrate the Rockstars of Conservation while using music as a megaphone to call attention to the need for global conservation.”
The idea for the zero- to low-emission hybrid event came from Nuno Bettencourt, who is not only the CEO and co-founder of Atlantis Entertainment — a media, TV and film production company, as well as record label — but also the frontman of ’90s rock band Extreme, and has since worked with artists including Rihanna and Janet Jackson.
“These days, words ‘climate’ and ‘climate crisis’ trigger so many different emotions from all walks of life,” said Bettencourt, who has been working for over a decade to make Concert for Earth a reality, in a statement. “It shouldn’t matter who you voted for, we don’t judge what your political color is internationally or, here in the U.S. if you are Republican, Democrat, Black, white, Hispanic, rich or poor.
“Instead, together during Concert for Earth, we are taking our universal language and power of music to celebrate the conservationists and entrepreneurs from around the world who are game changers leading the way with real, tangible solutions to flip the current narrative of climate and conservation from blame, anger, and doom; to positivity and hope by shining a light on inspirational SOLUTIONS to get us back in balance with our planet,” he added.
