The Dave Matthews Band, Pulp, The Verve, Live, Luscious Jackson, and Patti Smith are among the latest batch of artists to join the line-up for this summer's Tibetan Freedom Concert.

Also newly announced for the two-day concert (set for June 13 and 14 at Washington, D.C.'s RFK Stadium) are Buffalo Daughter, Mutabaruka, and the Headhunters with Herbie Hancock. Those acts will be joining previously announced performers A Tribe Called Quest, the Beastie Boys, Beck, Blues Traveler, Chaksam-Pa, Tracy Chapman, Wyclef Jean, Kraftwerk, KRS-One, Sean Lennon, Pearl Jam, R.E.M. and Sonic Youth (see "Pearl Jam, Wyclef, Blues Traveler, Kraftwerk Added To Tibet Show Line-Up"). More acts are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

This year, show organizers (lead by Beastie Boy Adam Yauch and his friends at the Milarepa Foundation) are taking the annual celebration of music and human rights to the home of U.S. policy making as part of their ongoing efforts to raise awareness of the struggle of Tibet at the hands of the Chinese government. As we previously reported, this year's concert will correspond with a National Day of Action for Tibet (scheduled for June 15) when supporters will rally on the Capitol lawn to draw attention to the Tibetan plight.
