FIFA World Cup Kick-off Celebration Concert Live
Live Opening Ceremony of the Fifa World Cup South Africa 2010
Opening scheduled:
The Opening Ceremony of the Fifa World Cup South Africa 2010, live from Johannesburg, South Africa
Date:10-06-2010
Time:From (GMT) 18:00 until 21:00
This three-hour celebratory extravaganza, which will bring together the two universal passions of football and music before a capacity stadium audience of 30,000, will be broadcast to millions more worldwide. It is scheduled to begin at 8.00pm local time (GMT+2) on 10 June.
FIFA has selected Emmy Award-winning producer Kevin Wall and his company Control Room to organise and produce the concert. Control Room has masterminded some of the world's biggest and most complex events, such as Live Earth 2007, which featured 150 artists performing on seven continents over the course of 24 hours to raise awareness of climate change.
"We believe sports and music transcend cultural, language and geographic barriers, and through the official FIFA World Cup Kick–off Celebration Concert, Control Room will present the sights and sounds of unity and celebration for an unforgettable, must-see experience," said Wall.
All net proceeds from the concert will be donated to "20 Centres for 2010", the Official Campaign of the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™, which aims to build 20 centres across Africa offering education and healthcare services as well as football training to disadvantaged communities.
"We are thrilled to have a concert of such magnitude and performing talent raise the curtain on the first FIFA World Cup on African soil," said FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke. "It is testament to the universal and unifying power of football and music and will start the competition off on the right note – of celebration."

help me cuz i know u people r brillant!?
Ok, so I am the ASB president at my school. Usually
(not to brag or anything) but i can come up with some pretty fabulous ideas or at least decent ones. In just three days ASB is meeting to decide on a theme for homecoming, and i just can't think of anything!! Everyone is looking to me for a great idea but i have nothing. I would appreciate sooo sooo much if you guys could help me come up with a theme.
For our homecoming we choose a general theme, then we give each class sub themes. For example last year was a Knight at the awards (we are the knights so we always work that in). Frosh: were emmys, sophs: were tony's juniors: were oscars seniors: were VMAs.
past themes have been:
A knights of holidays
A knight of time travel
Around the world in one knight
Thanks so much, i know u guys will come up with something brillant!
Oh and i really didn't know where to put this, but i put it in fashion cuz you have to be creative to have good style. LOL
Why dont u do a 80's theme theres alot you can do with that
you can have mafia memebers
the party dancers
the famous rich people
plus it will match and wont cost alot because all u will need for the people
is black and white tux or dreses and maybe blue tux for the dancers
