Dawn: The concert and ceremony, to be hosted by Queen Latifah, will honour India’s Kailash Satyarthi and Pakistan’s very own and youngest-ever recipient of the Nobel Peace prize, Malala Yousafzai, for the work they have done to promote children’s rights, particularly education.
Each year the Nobel Peace Prize Concert gathers a host and selection of talented artists from around the world to pay tribute to the year’s laureate. The resulting show is a virtual melting pot of melodies ranging in genre from classical to rap.
Other artists who will be performing this year include prolific singer Steven Tyler, British soul singer Laura Mvula, Norway’s Gabrielle and the inspirational Girls of The World. There will also be a dazzling Bollywood number to entertain audiences.
