The One World Concert, which will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 9, at 7 p.m. in the Carrier Dome, is expected to be one of the largest gatherings of international artists ever to travel to the region. A special benefit concert immediately follows a public talk by the His Holiness the Dalai Lama and features an original song written and performed by multiple artists, especially for His Holiness.

Scheduled to perform for the One World Concert are: host band Don Was and his All-Star Band, Dave Matthews, Counting Crows, Phillip Phillips, Nas, A.R. Rahman, Andy Grammer, Matisyahu, Natasha Bedingfield, Swizz Beatz, Cyndi Lauper, Bebe Winans, Angelique Kidjo, Voices of Afghanistan, Souad Massi, Engelbert Humperdinck, Roberta Flack, David Sanborn, Joanne Shenandoah, David Crosby, Nelly Furtado, Andy Madadian and Liel Kolet. Special guests include Whoopi Goldberg, the evening’s emcee, and NBC News’ Ann Curry.

Proceeds from the concert will be used to advance international relief efforts and fund a new scholarship named for Bassel Al Shahade, the SU graduate student killed earlier this year in Syria while making a documentary film on the violence in his homeland.

Questions can be directed to the Carrier Dome Box Office at 888-DOMETIX (366-3849) or 443-2121.
