"Nature is the true headliner at the Atlantis Concert for the Earth," said will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas in a statement. "It is a surreal other-worldly experience to perform on the rim of an extinct volcanic crater to celebrate the Rockstars of Conservation while using music as a megaphone to call attention to the need for global conservation."

Ticket for the two-day concerts are available to Azores locals on the event's website. Performances will be livestreamed worldwide for free on July 23 via Veeps.

In addition to the music performances, the show will highlight the work of a variety of conservationists and organizations focused on the environment, including Lennon's White Feather Foundation.

"These days, words 'climate' and 'climate crisis' trigger so many different emotions from all walks of life," said Nuno Bettencourt, CEO and co-founder of Atlantis Entertainment. "It shouldn't matter who you voted for, we don't judge what your political color is internationally or, here in the U.S. if you are Republican, Democrat, Black, white, Hispanic, rich or poor."

He added, "Because whatever we are, whether we like it or not, we share the same air, the same water and the same soil. We have all heard about the urgency, but fear is not the answer."
