    Live Earth Rio Is Back On

    In a big U-Turn, Live Earth Rio has now been given the green light to go ahead tomorrow.

    The huge event on Copacabana Beach had been cancelled by a judge over fears that police could not control the vast numbers expected to turn up for the event.

    Promoters Mondo Entretenimento have now managed to persuade a court that there will be sufficient measure to control the expected 1million people.

    “Live Earth said in a statement: "Live Earth Rio de Janeiro on Copacabana Beach will go forward as planned. 

    "Earlier this week approval for the concert was withheld by local authorities who wished to review local security capabilities.

    "We met with authorities and addressed their concerns, and the concert will continue as planned."
