Concerts aim to save the Earth

This Saturday, millions of people round the world will gather for a mega-concert series to raise awareness of climate change. News@nature.com takes a look at the event.

What's happening?

Al Gore is continuing his crusade to tackle climate change by hosting a 24-hour, seven-continent mega-concert. On 7 July, starting from 02:10 London time, bands will belt out songs from (in order) Sydney, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hamburg, London, Johannesburg, New York, Rio de Janeiro and, although this bit won't be live for logistical reasons, the Antarctic.
