Sting is celebrating 30 years of the Rainforest Fund, a charitable foundation dedicated to the preservation of the rainforest he co-founded alongside Trudie Styler and Dr. Franca Sciuto. The foundation held its 30th annual Rainforest Fund Benefit concert on Monday, December 9 at the Beacon Theater in New York with a star-studded lineup featuring Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Eurthymics , John Mellencamp, Ricky Martin, Debbie Harry, DMC, Shaggy, James Taylor, Bob Geldof, H.E.R and more with Robert Downey Jr. on hosting duties.
With such an all-star lineup, let's take a look at some of the setlists and highlights from the evening, shall we?
Sting opened the show with "Englishman in New York" where he brought out Shaggy to join him, his set also featured a Peter Gabriel cover for the song "Sledgehammer"which you can catch below!
The Rainforest Fund Benefit saw the reunion of Eurythmics, marking this the second time the band has performed together this decade! Their set included three signature hits, "Would I Lie To You," "Here Comes the Rain Again" and "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" and we are officially jealous of anyone who was in attendance to witness the duo performing together again. Luckily it was caught on camera, check it out below.
Bruce Springsteen hit the stage with John Mellencamp for a performance of "Glory Days" followed by Springsteen taking on his hit "Dancing in the Dark" solo. Watch the pair go to town on "Glory Days" below.
John Mellencamp's set saw Bruce Springsteen return the favor as the two performed Mellencamp's "Pink Houses" together. Imagine being there to experience these two legends together.
The shows encore featured all of the artists together on stage for a performance of Journey's "Don't Stop Believing." Yes, you read that right, Eurthymics, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, James Taylor, Debra Harry, Shaggy, Ricky Martin and more all performed the iconic bar song on one stage.
