Battleground Earth is the name of yet another new series set to debut on Discovery?s Planet Green network. The show is 10-episode reality series that will pit various celebrities against each other in green-themed competitions. From the article,

?Battleground will feature Chris ?Ludacris? Bridges and Tommy Lee criss-crossing the country competing in various challenges designed to highlight green issues. The series will culminate with the two artists converging in Los Angeles to co-headline a concert at the Greek Theater with proceeds benefiting Griffith Park.?

?Discovery Communication?s premiere of Planet Green, the first and only 24-hour eco-friendly lifestyle and entertainment television network, which premieres June 4 and a LIVE CONCERT. The event is part ?green? carpet, VIP party and part concert featuring Ludacris, Tommy Lee and other musical performances. The concert is the backdrop of the final taping for the new Planet Green series, BATTLEGROUND EARTH: LUDACRIS vs. TOMMY LEE, which premieres on August 3rd. Proceeds from this event will benefit the fund created to restore areas destroyed by recent wildfires in and around Griffith Park.?

Tickets are available to the public from Ticketmaster or at the box office of the Greek Theater ? but before you purchase, we also want to give you the opportunity to attend like a star. Before the concert starts at 8pm, you?ll be ushered down the green carpet at six (after getting free parking ? awesome!) and into the VIP party happening outside the theatre. You?ll party there for two hours and then receive great seats for the concert. Besides Tommy Lee and Ludacris, performers will also include Train, Switchfoot, members of Velvet Revolver, Bowling for Soup, Too Short, Blue Man Group, Robbie Krieger from the Doors, Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top and Planet Green celebrities.
