National Geographic Music (National Geographic)

Nat Geo Music is throwing an Earth Day Party and you're invited. This year, to celebrate Earth Day, National Geographic is teaming up with Ben Harper & Relentless 7 and other environmentally-conscious artists for a free live concert in Rome's famed Piazza del Popolo.

The historic square will be lit up with music from Harper – who will be playing cuts from his upcoming release, White Lies for Dark Times, due out May 5th – as well as Parisian afrofunksters Bibi Tanga & The Selenites and Italian rockers Subsonica.

Best of all, 100% of the event's carbon emissions will be offset by planting 1,000 trees this fall in Rome's Riserva della Valle dell'Aniene park. Because that's how Nat Geo Music rolls – Earth Day, and every day (with special thanks to our Italian partners Impatto Zero & LifeGate, who enable individuals and organizations to offset carbon emissions through tree-planting).

The concert takes place on Wednesday April 22nd beginning at 8 p.m. in Italy (2 p.m. EST), and will air live on the Nat Geo Music channel internationally. It will also be webcast live on www.natgeomusic.net, in the United States and www.natgeotv.com/earthday internationally.

Don't miss it!
