Al Gore is teaming up with the organizers of Live 8 and a slew of music biggest stars for a 24-hour “Live Earth” concert across 7 continents (yes, including Antarctica) on July 7, 2007 (07/07/07), to raise awareness of environmental issues.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Foo Fighters, Korn, Duran Duran, Snoop Dogg, John Mayer, Akon, A.F.I., Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are among the participating artists being announced at a press conference in LA today.

Though not all of the locations have been confirmed, organizer Kevin Wall, who spearheaded the Live 8 concerts in 2005, has a possible plan: “We’ll start in Shanghai, and go to Sydney and Rio De Janeiro and Washington D.C. and London and Johannesburg and finish the show in Kyoto at the old Buddhist temple where we would do an acoustic show and ask the world to take a breath.”

The concerts will be broadcast in over 120 countries (on NBC and 7 cable networks in the U.S.) and webcast on MSN.
