He continued, "Rock the World/Save the Planet is different. It will achieve net-zero carbon emissions by using Neutral Fuels B100 net-zero biofuel to power the entire event."

They have also teamed up with other eco-friendly organizations such as DGrade, who will collect all plastic from the event and convert it into sustainable yarn to produce clothing and accessories.

As for the lineup, the concert's rock-filled stage will feature the likes Filipino hard-rock band, Razorback, who has previously opened for Rage Against The Machine and Metallica, as well as pop-rock band Cueshé, Urbandub, Basti Artadi and Sandstorm, a Dubai rock cover band that features Karl Feilder as lead singer.
