Lady Gaga, Lenny Kravitz among headliners for DNC concert

CLEVELAND, July 20 (UPI) -- Lady Gaga, a vocal Democrat, will join Lenny Kravitz and DJ Jazzy Jeff performing at the Camden Rising concert Thursday as part of the Democratic National Convention, taking place in Philadelphia.

"We are happy to be able to invite the staff and volunteers of the Democratic Convention to what we expect to be one of the largest, most exciting events of the convention. The concert will not only be an excellent opportunity for everyone who has helped make the convention a success to relax and celebrate, but it will be a great chance to show the country Camden's amazing turnaround."

Rapper Snoop Dogg will lead the concert called "Unity Party" for Democratic donors on the same day at Philadelphia's Electric Factory. That concert also features Los Lobos.
