Fans heading to Washington, DC, on June 13 and 14 for this year's Tibetan Freedom Concert may want to take note of the order of performances for each day, the schedule of which was just formalized by the event's promoters.
The last artist making the Tibetan line-up is Money Mark, the Beastie Boys' keyboardist who recently released a solo album, "Push the Button" (see "'Fourth Beastie Boy' Cashes In..."), who will be the first musical performer.
Concert-goers may want to arrive to the show a few minutes early, as there's always the chance that special guests may turn-up for impromptu performances, much like Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam did at last year's event (see "Pearl Jam Joins R.E.M. For Tibet")
As in years past, Tibetan monks and nuns will open and close the concert with prayers slated to be delivered at noon and 7:30 p.m on both days.
