I wish the official channels at TPT would finally confirm this, but just in case, for all you Kelly Clarkson fans :

It'll be an awesome show. I'd go like a shot, if I hadn't already blown the budget on a bunch of other trips (including several Police-related forays) for the summer.

My only comment is, No Beastie Boys?? I'd think they'd be on this like white on rice.

According to the news posted on the policetour.com page, it looks like the Beastie Boys are doing the London show @ Wembley Stadium.

I gotta tell you...I went to the first "Free Tibet" show back in 1996 or so, at Randalls Island in New York.

It was *a*w*e*s*o*m*e. I have to say the Beasties are one of my all-time favorite live acts.

Just got a notice from the Gore folks about how to sign up for a ticket presale. Anyone interested should email me.

People like John Mayer?

[DirtyMartini]

I certainly like him better than Kelly Clarkson.

[Kim]

Snow Patrol and Keane. Awesome!

I doubt there are any, people here tend to have taste.

Fall Out boys at the same gig with The Police, sounds cool.

[DirtyMartini]

Egads.

Price range for Live Earth tickets: US $53.00 - US $348.00.

Granted, it's a pretty big bill, so I shouldn't be suprised. But I'd swear that someone on TPT had mentioned that the UK concert was only going to run ~$150 (US). Damn.

[DirtyMartini]

Just a reminder to anyone who wanted Live Earth (US) tickets that they go on sale in 30 minutes. Good luck!

Oh man...I wanna go...but unfortunately plane tix and an expensive hotel would likely be involved....

Sadly, my concert buddy had to pull out cuz of a wedding. And while I don't mind going to a regular concert alone or an outdoor festival alone, the prospect of spending all day at Giants Stadium alone with nowhere to go and nothing to do but walk round and round the stadium is kinda bleh.

[DirtyMartini]

Well, for some odd reason I decided to try my luck at a Live Earth ticket last night to see what kind of singles were available. And now I seem to be in possession of a primo aisle seat in the lower tier near the stage.

So it looks like I may be going to Live Earth.

Over the weekend, I was scheduled for 1 Police show. Now I'm scheduled for 3. Yowza.
