This Sunday April 19 will mark another Earth Day celebration on the National Mall with free music and entertainment beginning at Noon at the Capitol. The Flaming Lips top a ticket that also includes Los Lobos, DJ Spooky, the Howard University Drummers and the Joy of Motion Dance Center’s teen hip hop company, Urban Impact.
Most known for their 1993 hit, "She Don't Use Jelly" the Oklahoma natives are famous for their alternative-rock, space age sound. It's a shift from last year's top act The Roots, who because of torrential rain and lightning never took the stage. The Weather Channel predicts isolated thunderstorms and a 30% chance of rain this Sunday.
Chevy Chase, most known for his roles in Saturday Night Live, and the National Lampoons series, is expected to emcee the event, which is designed to celebrate three days of environmental volunteerism.
While the D.C. concert is the flagship event large shows are being held in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Seattle, and San Francisco, in what event organizers are calling the biggest earth day celebration to date.
Earth Day is April 22nd.
