This year's Nobel Peace Prize concert lineup has been announced which includes a variety of artists across genres including Jake Bugg, Mary J. Blige, Syrian musician Omar Souleyman, James Blunt, Swedish singer Zara Larsson, hip-hop duo Envy and Swedish rapper Timbuktu. Morrissey will headline the concert, and according to his Facebook page, he plans to perform three songs.
The 20th annual event, hosted by Claire Danes (Homeland), will take place December 11 at the Spektrum in Oslo, Norway. The concert, which has taken place every year since 1994, pays tribute to the year's Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and is meant to be a "virtual melting pot of melodies."
Tickets for the concert are now on sale for the USD equivalent of about $104 to $172. This year's Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons for the Netherlands-based company's "extensive efforts to eliminate chemical weapons," which was especially relevant this year following the crisis in Syria earlier this year.
The concert will air in the U.S. on AXS TV on December 11 from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. EST. Do you plan to watch? What do you think of the lineup? Let us know in the comments section below!
