The organizers of Live Earth, a series of concerts to be held in different cities across the globe in summer to promote environmental issues, have decided not to hold one of the concerts in Reykjavík as earlier suggested.
According to Fréttabladid, the Iceland concert was canceled due to lack of interest from the Icelandic government to support the project financially and insufficient condition of technical equipment.
Kári Sturluson, who was responsible for organizing Live Earth in Iceland, said the organizers did not have enough time to see the project through.
“But it is clear that if the representatives of the government had shown genuine interest from the start the situation could have been different,” Sturluson added.
