The Beastie Boys' Adam Yauch has traveled to London to scout out possibleUK locations for a Tibetan Freedom Concert later this year.Yauch is expected to meet with promoters and publicists about thefeasibility of staging a 2001 edition of the concert there, accordingto the band's reps at Nasty Little Man. The Beasties have been eyeing the UK as a possible site, since organizersfor the Glastonbury Festival announced they would take this year offto address some crowd-control issues It hasn't been established how many Tibetan Freedom Concerts would bestaged this year, or if the Beastie Boys would headline a U.S. editionof the show, as they have in the previous years the concerts have been held. Organized by Yauch and the Milarepa Fund, the inaugural Tibetan FreedomConcert was held in San Francisco in 1996, followed by concerts in New Yorkin 1997 and Washington in 1998. The 1999 Tibetan Freedom Concerts incorporatedfour separate shows, in Sydney, Australia; Amsterdam, Netherlands; Tokyo;and East Troy, Wisconsin. The Tibetan Freedom Concert took last year off, although Yauch predictedthe event's return the day before the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards in the fall "I think there will probably be [more] Tibetan Freedom Concerts in the future," Yauch said then. "I'm sure there will be."Yauch launched the Tibetan Freedom Concert as a means of raising awarenessabout the plight of Tibet, which has been occupied by China since 1959. Proceedsfrom the events are also donated to the Milarepa Fund, a nonprofit organizationthat promotes universal compassion and non-violent social change. "I think there's still quite a ways to go on the Tibetan movement for Tibetto gain its freedom," Yauch also said the day before the award ceremony."I think it'd be a mistake to start counting our blessings before the job is done.But I think it is getting closer."  : -mtv.com
