Amnesty International will host one of their Human Rights Concert in New York next month, with the line-up today announced.
Taking place at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on 5 February, the likes of Flaming Lips, Lauryn Hill, Tegan and Sara, Cold War Kids and more will perform to raise money for the charity.
A press release says Amnesty ”will use technology to connect the music and message in real time from the stage of the Barclays Center to activists across the globe”, which – presumably – means it will be live-streamed.
