Nike's confirmed artists include Moby in London, All-American Rejects in New York City, Fall Out Boy in Chicago, Kelly Rowland in Paris, and a "Grand Finale" performance from Kanye West.

"I'm hitting the stage in Los Angeles for the Nike+ Human Race, Nike's dopest 10k run ever," West said in a statement.
