Saturday's concert, called "Change Begins Within," benefits the David Lynch Foundation. The organisation's initiative is to teach one million at risk youths mediation techniques.

Besides Starr, McCartney will be joined by Sheryl Crow, Donovan, Eddie Vedder, Ben Harper, Moby, Paul Horn, Bettye LaVette and some surprise guests.
