Madonna Rumored To Be Playing Amnesty International Concert In Brooklyn
Earlier this week it was announced that the massive Amnesty International concert at Barclays Center on February 5th will feature two members of ***** Riot, who were just released from Russian prison camps last month. The concert is a return to the Amnesty concerts of the 1980s and '90s (they stopped in 1998), and in that spirit some legendary talent has been expected to return with it—we now have it on good authority that Madonna has been confirmed to play at the show.
Madonna was outspoken about her support of ***** Riot while touring in 2012:
She also issued this call to action at the time: "I protest the conviction and sentencing of ***** Riot to a penal colony for two years for a 40 second performance extolling their political opinions. Even if one disagrees with the location or how they chose to express themselves, the sentence is too harsh and in fact is inhumane. I call on all those who love freedom to condemn this unjust punishment. I urge artists around the world to speak up in protest against this travesty. They've spent enough time in jail. I call on ALL of Russia to let ***** Riot go free."
Organizers have promised big announcements up until the date of the show, so expect more of these surprises in the next week.
