The pandemic can’t stop Ziggy Marley from celebrating the Earth. The son of reggae icon Bob Marley and Rita Marley will be one of the highlights of Nat Geo’s Earth Day Eve 2021 streaming concert Wednesday, along with Willie Nelson, Yo-Yo Ma, Angelique Kidjo, AURORA, Jose Gonzalez, Maggie Rogers, Rostam and Valerie June.

A world premiere new music video will also air from My Morning Jacket.

Marley will pull out an acoustic guitar and sing a song appropriate for the event: “I Don’t Wanna Live On Mars” from his 2014 album “Fly Rasta.”

The opening line is: “Don’t want to live on Mars/I don’t want to drive space cars.”

Marley says whatever happens to this planet is going to happen to us all.

Jessica Nabongo is hosting the Earth Day event with Brian Skerry, Dr. Jane Goodall, Lillygol Sedaghat, Dr. Lucy Hawkes, and Dr. Rae Wynn-Grant making special appearances.

The special will be broadcast at 8:30 p.m. ET/5:30 p.m. PT on National Geographic’s YouTube channel and website.

Following that show, the action will move to TikTok for an afterparty with Jayda G., who’ll be spinning records accompanied by visuals from the Disney+ series “Earth Moods.”

Earth Day – Thursday (April 22) – has for decades been used to rally support for action on climate change. Carbon dioxide levels have increased 26% since the first Earth Day in 1970.
