Show of Peace dates changed

The organizers of Beijing's International Show of Peace have decided to reschedule April's concert for October, because of security concerns and to allow more time to put together the huge, celebrity-filled event.

The concert - originally slated to take place on April 17 in front of the Bird's Nest (Beijing National Stadium) - will be relocated inside the facility to better manage security and crowd control.

The concert's co-organizer said in a two-paragraph press release on Friday the change of dates and venues was made in agreement with the Ministry of Culture and the event's mastermind, Rick Garson, of Las Vegas-based ZZYX Entertainment.
