According to a late Wednesday press release, the Democratic National Convention Committee has confirmed Gov. Bill Richardson will speak Thursday night. Democratic National Convention Committee spokeswoman Jenni Engebretsen said in a press release:

Giving even more Democrats and supporters an opportunity to hear from Governor Bill Richardson, his speech has been moved from this evening to a featured speaking slot tomorrow at Mile High. Because of such an enthusiastic audience response, the long-running schedule led the Democratic Convention to ask the governor if he would speak tomorrow and he graciously agreed. He will be speaking to 75,000 people and a nationally televised audience.

A following schedule shows Richardson is scheduled to speak between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. at Invesco Field. On Wednesday, Richardson had been scheduled to speak between 7 p.m and 8 p.m. at the Pepsi Center.

On Thursday, Richardson is scheduled to speak between Martin Luther King III and will.i.am. Martin Luther King III is the son of the famous civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. Will.i.am will perform a song alongside John Legend.
