According to Billboard.com:
The concert takes place June 10 at the newly-renovated Orlando Stadium in Johannesburg’s Soweto township on the day before the 2010 tournament gets underway. It’s the first time FIFA has staged a multi-artist “kick-off” concert of this nature, with more acts expected to be added to the line-up in the coming weeks.
