The New Zealand Greenpeace site has a poster about the Planet A concert on 5 December which states that the concert will be streamed live on the net via Ziln.co.nz - the concert will be between 2:30 to 6:30 pm.



The Planet A march and concert for the climate  is now only 3 weeks away and, even if you don't live in Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch, we've still got some exciting news for you  - we're going to stream the concert live via www.ziln.co.nz

PLANET A  is going to be massive - great bands, awesome speakers plus a giant haka to challenge New Zealand's representatives going to the climate summit. There will be similar events in Wellington and Christchurch.

We're not sure where you live but if you're not in  Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch that doesn't mean you have to miss out!

We've got a cunning plan that's going to make history and involve you. We're streaming the concert live to the internet via ziln.co.nz so, whether you're in Ashburton or Edinburgh, you'll be able to tune in and watch the concert in high quality over the internet.

So put 2:30-6:30pm December 5 in your diary and invite your mates to come over and watch the concert, and help us spread the workd on Facebook if you can.

Thanks,

Nick and the team at Greenpeace

Here at Sign On HQ, focus has well and truly shifted to the campaign's big finale for 2009 - simultaneous marches in Auckland and Wellington, and a free concert in Myers Park at the end of the Auckland march, featuring Opshop, Midnight Youth, Kirsten Morrell, Don McGlashan and Lucy Lawless. The day shall hereby be known as "Planet A Day".

At the Auckland do, we'll also have a go at a giant haka to challenge the New Zealand delegation at Copenhagen. There'll be special speakers, Rhys Darby being funny as MC and hopefully sun. It's going to be a right royal send off for the NZ team heading to Copenhagen, and a clear directive to Prime Minister John Key to ensure his Government does the right thing at the most important meeting in history.

Here's what the performers have to say about the Planet A concert in Auckland:

It appears that in addition to the Auckland Sign On March on 5 December, there will also be one in Wellington.

Greenpeace's Sign On climate campaign will culminate in a huge free public concert in Auckland on Saturday 5 December. Planet A - March and Concert for the Climate will kick off with a march up Queen Street from 1pm to Myers Park, where the concert will be held from 2:30pm - 6:30pm. Artists including Opshop, Midnight Youth, Don McGlashan and Kirsten Morrell will perform as well as Sign On ambassadors Lucy Lawless and Keisha Castle-Hughes. Rhys Darby will MC the event. The event is aimed at allowing Kiwis to show their support of a strong outcome at the Copenhagen climate conference, which starts two days later on December 7.

The Sign On campaign, launched in May and supported by nearly 160,000 Kiwis, is calling on the New Zealand Government to commit to the 40% by 2020 emission reduction target. See www.signon.org.nz

A public march will be held simultaneously in Wellington.

The official Sign On Site has more information about the upcoming Planet A Climate Change March and Concert where Lucy will be performing.

We're having a party!

Starship's super concert, The Starship Supernova Swing, was a huge success and the final tally for the amount raised on the night has been updated to $110,000. That is phenomenonal! It was such a spectacular night by all the performers who worked for nothing and made it such a special night. Lucy, as always, was on fire and the other performers - Jason Kerrison, Kirsten Morrell, James Reid, Dave Gibson, Peter Urlich, Nathan King, The Lady Killers, Nerida Lister, Monty Betham, The Tuxedo Swing Orchestra and Shane Cortese were SUPERB.

For more about the Starship Supernova Swing, you can view images, video and my own report of the night by going to the AUSXIP Flawless Diva Starship Supernova Swing Subsite

The Starship Supernova Swing subsite has been slow to be updated (that's what having way too much fun in New Zealand does to me...slacker!) but I finally got all the elements (photos, video, reports, song list) together and updated the Starship Supernova Subsite!

It was truly a SPECTACULAR night and one that I won't forget in a hurry! Many many many thanks to Starship - Andrew Young, Bobbie Brown and all the rest of the fantastic team who put this concert together. It wouldn't be a spectacular night without the amazing Miss Lucy who was absolutely adorable, fantastic and a pleasure to watch perform! Wish you all could have seen it (the videos give you a good idea) but for those that couldn't be there, the subsite brings together the fun of the evening! Enjoy!
