World Cup Concert

Friday, June 11

I wouldn't normally post about the World Cup as I am not very much into soccer but I think its awesome that it is being host in an African country this year.  A lot of big name stars have made their way to the motherland in support.  Thursday marked the eve of Africa's first world cup and some big names were headliners for the World Cup Concert.  Such names included Alicia Keys, The Black Eyed Peas, Shakira and John Legend.  There were also some local acts that performed as well.  Check out the pics below of the event and if you are into soccer make sure you stay tuned for the month long tournament of games.

If you are interested in checking out the World Cup Concert Celebration tune into ABC today at 8 pm eastern time.
