Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan will be the guest of honor at the "Bring 'Em Home" concert at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom.

Among the performers scheduled to play March 20 are R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe, Bright Eyes, Rufus Wainwright, Fischerspooner, Public Enemy's Chuck D, Devendra Banhart and Peaches, Billboard.com reported.

Sheehan will address the audience at the concert noting the third anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Billboard said. aneane Garafalo will broadcast her Air America Radio show "The Majority Report" live from the concert. Money raised by the show will go to Iraq Veterans Against the War and Veterans for Peace.

I hope we can all make it!

Major? Maybe I'm old. I've only heard of Stipe from R.E.M. and Chuck D.

Garafalo will broadcast her Air America Radio show "The Majority Report" live from the concert.

The live audience will be 5X her listening audience, and I'm being generous.

"Major? Maybe I'm old. I've only heard of Stipe from R.E.M. and Chuck D."

Me too and I'm not too sure either of them could give away their music now. I listened to REM back in the '80's when I liked to chase hippie college girls. Yeah, Stipe did me right back then. ;)

A "major" concert in a venue that holds 2,000 to 3,000 people, featuring bands and singers who don't have hits and who aren't very well known (except for Stipe), to put it mildly. That's really major (sort of like the "major" award the dad won in "A Christmas Story").

They're not on the bill, Pete Townshend is too busy to attend.

I looked up the seating capacity.

Is 2,500 a "major anti-war concert"?
