NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Peace One Day) - Peace One Day announced today that a star-studded concert celebrating Peace Day 2008 will be held at the Nokia Theatre Times Square in New York City on September 9th, 2008. Grammy-award winning singers Annie Lennox and Bryan Adams will perform acoustic sets alongside international sensation Natasha Bedingfield. Video messages of Peace from celebrities and artists including Jude Law and Lenny Kravitz, speeches from international luminaries and clips from the acclaimed documentary, The Day After Peace, will add to a remarkable night of entertainment. The New York concert will be filmed and a TV special will be broadcast globally.

Proceeds from the Peace One Day Celebration are earmarked to assist the non-profit organization's ongoing mission to raise awareness of Peace Day, September 21st annually, and manifest life-saving activities on the Day. As a direct outcome of Peace One Day's campaigning in 2007, parties in Afghanistan recognized Peace Day resulting in 1.4 million Afghanistan children being vaccinated against polio. Last year, 100 million people in 200 countries were engaged in Peace Day activities and in 14 of those countries, efforts were targeted towards providing life-saving activities and medical services on the Day.

Annie Lennox said today, "What I love about Jeremy Gilley and the Peace One Day campaign, is that the whole thing was started by just one individual who is trying to make a difference, despite the odds. We all have so much potential, but we don't tend to realise it, so we take it for granted. The work of Peace One Day encourages and inspires people to think about what we can all do, both at individual and 'collective' levels. There are better and alternative means to conflict resolution than 'killing and maiming the enemy'. Political leaders and power brokers have too much invested in the industry of war, rather than implementing peaceful solutions. What is life without peace? Peace is for the highest good, and as a global community it is one of the things we need to value above everything."

"We now have a remarkable chance to each do our part to commit to peaceful activities on Peace Day and this day has been proven to save lives," said Jeremy Gilley, Founder of Peace One Day and writer, producer and director of The Day After Peace. "I am excited to be in New York to celebrate this important day with internationally acclaimed singers like Annie Lennox, Bryan Adams and Natasha Bedingfield."
