Live Earth Istanbul Has Been Cancelled
Published Saturday, 23rd June, 2007 at 9:54 AM
The Istanbul Live Earth event has been pulled and as a result the city will now feature eight huge screens displaying the events occuring elsewhere around the world.
The event has been axed due to lack of sponsorship from local business, who fear environmental groups will accuse their factories etc of contributing to global warming - the very threat Live Earth aims to promote.
Live Earth was supposed to consist of nine huge events, but will now feature eight - including London (see line-up), Japan (see line-up) and Australia (see line-up) amongst others.
