"Peace isn't just the absence of war, it's something we bring about by small actions every single day." That was one of Stevie Wonder‘s many great quotes from the birthday party he held for the United Nations in the General Assembly Hall last night (October 24) for United Nations Day. The U.N. turned 67, but Wonder wasn't worried about getting it (or the attendees) to bed on time; his 20 song set kept the Hall rocking until well after 10:30 (the show, which streamed on websites including BET, VH1 Soul and VH1 Classic, was scheduled from 7 pm – 9 pm ET)...

The date fans may purchase or exchange their tickets for Sting's concert in Manila, Philippines on December 9, 2012 at the Araneta Coliseum has been changed to Wednesday, October 31. Beginning October 31, fans who had purchased a ticket for the concert previously scheduled at the SM Mall of Asia Arena may exchange their tickets at a special window at the Ticketnet Office located at the Araneta Coliseum. Tickets may be exchanged leading up to and including show date, though we recommend this be done in advance to avoid lengthy queues. Those who purchased a reserved ticket will receive a reserved ticket for the performance at the Araneta Coliseum. Reserved seat tickets have been carefully reassigned so that fans with a reserved ticket at the MOAA will receive a comparable reserved ticket in the new venue. Tickets will be available for purchase beginning Wednesday, October 31, at all Ticketnet outlets, online at www.ticketnet.com.ph or call 911-5555 for information. If a refund is preferred, these tickets must be refunded at SM Tickets no later than Sunday, November 18, 2012. Ovation Productions and Live Nation Global Touring apologize for any inconvenience...
