Eurovision and Live Earth 7. maí 2007 16:49 The Live Earth concerts, a grand scale music event planned to draw attention to global warming and the climate crisis will take place in seven cities across the world on July 7. Live Earth will bring together over 150 musicians for a 24-hour show that will be broadcasted live across the world. Live Earth’s organisers expect the concerts to engage an audience of more than 2 billion people. According to Fréttablaðið, Reykjavík was offered to be among the few cities hosting this monumental music event and support the cause in the meantime. Kári Sturluson, the “ambassador” of Live Earth in Iceland told Fréttablaðið that he sent a request to the Prime Minister’s office in January and asked for a financial support, adding that he hasn’t received an answer yet. It has been confirmed that the Live Earth concerts will take place in New York, Rio de Janeiro, Johannesburg, London, Shanghai, Tokyo and Sydney so it might be a little late for Reykjavík to join the group But on to a totally different show. In only three days, Eiríkur Hauksson will represent Iceland in the Eurovision semi-finals, taking place in Helsinki on May 10. On ESC Today, Eiríkur’s performance at the second rehearsal is described as a hard-hitting, jaded rock, which hammers the message home to the viewers on the screen. You can listen to the song, Valentine Lost, on Eiríkur’s Myspace.
