(RED)(TM) and Live Nation Announce (RED)NIGHTS, the Concert Series to Combat
AIDS in Africa

LOS ANGELES, May 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today, (RED) and Live Nation
(NYSE: LYV) announce the (RED)NIGHTS series, an innovative slate of 26 live
concerts in the U.S., which will raise money and awareness for the ultimate
goal of eliminating AIDS in Africa. To kick off the series, (RED)NIGHTS
artists, Santigold, Gomez, O.A.R., Fall Out Boy, Lisa Hannigan, The Veronicas
and The All-American Rejects will turn one of their upcoming concerts (RED).

"I believe no person deserves to suffer from a preventable, treatable disease
simply because they can't afford medicine," said Marc Roberge of O.A.R. "If
bringing awareness to what (RED) is doing helps one person receive
antiretroviral treatment and live a healthy life, we have accomplished our
goal."

(RED) will present the (RED)NIGHTSconcert series at select Live Nation clubs
and theaters across the country. (RED) and Live Nation are collaborating to
link acclaimed artists with their fans to join the fight against AIDS in
Africa. Information about the events already scheduled for the (RED)NIGHTS
concert series can be found at http://www.livenation.com and
http://www.joinred.com/rednights.

"(RED) was looking to engage more people in its mission, to help eliminate
AIDS in Africa. The (RED)NIGHTS series is an innovative concept that combines
the power of Live Nation's live music platform and venues to use people's
passion for music to raise awareness and, ultimately, generate more money to
help eliminate AIDS in Africa." said Russell Wallach, President of North
American Alliances for Live Nation. "We're building a great line up of artists
for (RED)NIGHTS, and believe we can help (RED) successfully deliver its
message by connecting them with music fans all over the country."

Bringing the (RED) experience to life in a new way, (RED)NIGHTS and the
community of participating artists will come together to use great live music
to raise awareness of (RED)'s primary objective--to help eliminate AIDS in
Africa. With each live show, (RED)NIGHTS hopes to inspire fans to participate
in (RED)'s mission, highlight the many ways to get involved beyond the concert
and encourage people to share the message and experience with others.
Ultimately, it is the goal of (RED)NIGHTS to build a community--of artists,
concertgoers and music fans everywhere--that is passionate about helping to
save lives in Africa. A portion of the proceeds of each (RED)NIGHTS concert
goes directly to the Global Fund (theglobalfund.org).

"(RED)NIGHTS is one more way for people to become (RED) and support our
efforts to eliminate AIDS in Africa," says Jenifer Willig, Director of
Partners and Marketing at (RED). "We're so honored to have incredible artists
turning their shows (RED) and look forward to bringing (RED)NIGHTS to fans
across the country."

(RED)NIGHTS arrives on the heels of (RED)WIRE(TM), the innovative new digital
music service from (RED). The (RED)NIGHTS artists will join an impressive
community of (RED) artists who are participating in (RED)WIRE, including U2,
Coldplay, The Killers, Jay-Z, Elvis Costello, John Legend, Sheryl Crow, Neko
Case, Noel Gallagher, Conor Oberst, TV On The Radio, Death Cab For Cutie,
Michael Franti and many more. (RED)NIGHTS and (RED)WIRE mark the first time
(RED) has moved into the music arena and are a mutual extension of (RED)'s
mission, whereby the music community is coming together as a vehicle to raise
awareness and funds to help fight AIDS in Africa.
