While many key concerns like global warming are on the list, Wall says the main issue this event would be addressing is the challenge of finding clean and renewable sources of energy. “We have requested

India to commit to produce energy from new renewable resources within 10 years,” says Wall.

Shankar, who is already in India to perform with Jethro Tull, says, “This concert could not have happened at a more pertinent time. India is in a position to drastically alter the course of the world with the choices it makes with regard to the environment.” The local beneficiaries of this concert include TERI’s Light a Billion Lives campaign and Climate Project India. “We will help raise money through this event to bring solar lanterns to villages across India,” confirms Wall.

The tickets are priced at Rs 625, Rs 1,250 and Rs 2,500, and are available at www.bookmyshow.com/liveearthindia
