According to a source close to the Live Earth festival, reigning Billboard heavyweight champions Linkin Park will be headlining the Tokyo installment of this year’s massive seven-continent Live Earth affair, which is set to rock the globe on 7/7/07. In other festival news: Joss Stone and UB40 are headlining the Johannesburg concert, Lenny Kravitz and Pharrell Williams will be holding it down in Live Earth Rio De Janeiro (lucky them) and Shakira (and a rock band to be named later) will be joining previously announced Chris Cornell and Snoop Dogg in Hamburg, Germany. Also part of the plan is Will Ferrell, Cameron Diaz and none other than Pierce Brosnan, who will all film PSAs to air during the concert series. And what about Live Earth Antarctica, which will take place near the South Pole? That would be rockers NunoTank, a band made up of scientists stationed on the icy continent, who will broadcast their performance via live feed.
