Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Dean & Britta, Titus Andronicus & more for D17 Occupy Event today
“Join artists, musicians, and local community members for an all-day performance event in support of Occupy Wall Street’s re-occupation of space in downtown Manhattan.”
Lou Reed & Patti Smith scheduled to play on Saturday, December 17th – the THREE MONTH ANNIVERSARY of Occupy Wall St., the birthday of Bradley Manning, and the 1 year anniversary of the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi – the act that sparked the Arab Spring.
WBAI will broadcast the event that starts at 12 noon EDT. See D17 Re-occupy for the official event. [Occupy Wall Street]
Head over to Sixth Avenue and Canal St. and tune in to WBAI. Here’s what to wear.
Dean & Britta, Titus Andronicus and others will be performing in the WBAI studios – creating a soundtrack for the protesters to listen to on radios. Full performance schedule below. It’s unclear who will actually be performing/speaking at the actual event (Lou Reed at both? Patti Smith at just the actual event?).
