James Morrison joins Elton John in the line up for the Peace One Day concert celebrating Global Truce 2012, as part of the London 2012 Festival.
Peace One Day founder Jeremy Gilley announced today that James Morrison will join what is building up to be an incredible Peace One Day concert line up. The concert will be headlined by Elton John and his band, with 2CELLOS and further artists to be announced. Between performances there will be contributions from Gilley and Peace One Day ambassador Jude law.
The concert is the final event of the London 2012 Festival and is the biggest event yet for Gilley’s Peace One Day non-profit organisation, which in 2001 led a process that resulted in the unanimous adoption by UN member states of the first ever annual day of global ceasefire and non-violence, fixed in the calendar as 21 September – Peace Day.
The Wembley Arena concert on Peace Day 21 September is also a legacy show celebrating the culmination of Peace One Day’s Global Truce 2012 campaign.
James Morrison said, “I’m really pleased to be performing once again for Peace One Day and fantastic to be working with Elton for this great cause”.
Jude Law who is producing the concert with Gilley said, “It’s fantastic to welcome James Morrison to the line up of our Peace Day 2012 show at Wembley Arena. It’ll be a very special night.”
Elton John said, “When Jeremy and Jude came to see me and told me about Peace One Day and the Global Truce 2012 campaign I had to get involved and support them. I am looking forward to seeing everyone on the 21st September at Wembley Arena and thrilled that James is joining us for this wonderful event!”
Peace One Day founder Jeremy Gilley said, “It’s amazing that James Morrison is joining Elton to perform for Peace One Day. This is the second time he’s supported us. It’s a massive honour, he’s an incredible artist.”
