Late Live Earth call-up for Gogol Bordello

1 hour, 1 minute ago

LONDON (Billboard) - Madonna has invited Eugene Hutz, Gogol Bordello's self-styled "bandleader and agent provocateur," and Sergey Ryabtsev, the New York gypsy punk act's violinist, to perform with her at Live Earth on Saturday (July 7).

Their participation in the Wembley Stadium leg of the environmental awareness Live Earth spectacular has consequently forced Gogol Bordello to cancel its appearance at the T in the Park festival in Scotland.

According to a spokesperson, the invitation from Madonna stems from an unrelated project Hutz is working on with the pop star. The day after Hutz and Ryabtsev play at Live Earth, they will join the rest of Gogol Bordello to perform at the Oxegen Festival in Ireland.

The band, whose new album, "Super Taranta!" (SideOneDummy Records) will be released on Tuesday (July 10), will also perform at the Reading and Leeds Festivals on August 24-25.

In addition to a host of North American and continental European gigs between July 8 and November 29, the band plans a U.K. tour later this year.
