    Coldplay to play Secret Policeman's Ball, Radio City Music Hall, NY on March 4th (for Amnesty International)

    secretpoliceman.pngColdplay, John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, Mumford & Sons and Russell Brand are among the acts who have signed on for the event at Radio City Music Hall on March 4. The concert will benefit Amnesty International, as it has since it started back in 1976 with celebrities like John Cleese. Over the years, Bono, Sting and others have participated. Discuss this new concert date at the Coldplay Live forum now [thanks _Tash]

     

    This will mark the first time it's being held in New York City. Amnesty International spokesman Andy Hackman says the organization wanted to do something really special for its 50th anniversary. "The Secret Policeman's Ball is letting America in on the party: The British-based music and comedy festival is coming to New York City in March," writes the Wall Street Journal, who have just published online a short press release on the event.

    Since John Cleese and friends brought together a star-studded mix of comedians and rock stars for The Secret Policeman’s Ball in 1976, the legendary Amnesty International show has championed the right to free speech for people across the world. The New York event - the first Secret Policeman's Ball to be held outside the UK - will help spread Amnesty International’s message to an even bigger audience.

     

    "The Secret Policeman’s Ball is a reinforcement of the fundamental rights we’re all entitled to as citizens of the world," said Andy Hackman, of Amnesty International. "It’s an honour that so many luminaries have agreed to join us and celebrate the right to life, liberty, security and freedom of opinion and expression."

     

    "We are so happy to be involved with the 2012 Secret Policeman's Ball," said Chris Martin. "We have followed and supported Amnesty International - and the amazing work they do around the world in the field of human rights - for years, and it is a pleasure to be asked to contribute to such an inspiring event."

     

    Tickets for the event will be sold via Ticketmaster, with an American Express customer pre-sale running from today until 29 January, and the general sale beginning on 30 January.
