and British rock veteran Dave Mason (founder of Traffic) will headline Sunday’s festivities on the National Mall. Teenage Disney-endorsed upstarts Kicking Daisies will also perform at the free event, which runs from noon to 7 p.m.
It marks a musical return for Earth Day on the Mall after a one-year break. In 2011, nonprofit group Earth Day Network took a year off from organizing the event after a pair of high-profile events that featured Sting, the Roots and John Legend in 2010 and the Flaming Lips in 2009.
