Bryan Adams to headline Middle East concert for peace

Show will take place on Israel's West Bank

Bryan Adams is set to headline a concert to promote peace in the Middle East.

The show will take place October 18 on Israel's West Bank, and will be broadcast via satellite to London, Washington DC and Ottawa.

The objective of the concert is to collect one million signatures from Israelis and Palestinians demanding that their leaders finalise an agreement on a Palestinian state living at peace with Israel, reports the Associated Press.

The event is being put together by One Voice, a non-profit organisation based in New York that promotes peace in the Middle East.

The concert is free to those who sign the One Voice petition. For more information, visit Onevoicemovement.org
