Harvey Goldsmith, the concert promoter who backed the London leg of Live Aid as well as numerous other charity events and major gigs, has announced a new multi-year project to benefit action on the climate crisis. In 2007, Goldsmith advised on Live Earth, a global event series organised by Al Gore and entrepreneur Kevin Wall, which featured performers such as Madonna, Kanye West and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their event Power Our Planet: Live in Paris, in June 2023, featured performances from artists including Lenny Kravitz, Jack Harlow and Billie Eilish – the latter a frequent campaigner for climate awareness.
