Roger Waters and Jon Bon Jovi are amongst the headliners at Live Earth India, being held in Mumbai on December 7th, it was announced today. They will be among other global superstars who join Bollywood stars led by Amitabh Bachchan to perform at the concert.

The event's founder, former US Vice President Al Gore, will also be on hand to talk about climate issues. Tickets for the show are now on sale.

Money raised from this year's concert will be donated to Climate Project India to help fund their educational programs and renewable energy projects. Money will also go to TERI's Light a Billion Lives campaign which provides solar lighting to rural homes without electricity.
