Quote:

Singer and campaigner Bob Geldof is planning to stage a Live Aid-style concert to coincide with the UK hosting July's G8 summit of world leaders.
Called Live 8, the event is expected to take place in London's Hyde Park but no firm date has yet been set.

Speaking of Geldoff, I wish Dave Gilmour and pals would step out and release another album. What are they waiting for?....no material maybe?
I didnt think Geldoff had this kind of support either, I just keep learning...LOL

The annoying bit ?
The Spice Girls are meant to be reforming and performing for it.

spice girls performing at live aid 2???????? The bands in the oringinal 1985 gig only had about a 15 min set, so let's hope they do perform at live aid 2 and be gone, not do a full reunion gig at the new Wembly Stadium which I read about..That could go on for up to 2 hours!!

What ever the cost they will be worth it (lets hope people dont buy in bulk and sell for more ÃƒÆ’Ã†â€™ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã…Â¡ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£'s)

I heard it's Hyde Park July 2nd and it maybe free..tickets where being allocated by some sort of ballot???????? It's being dubbed Live 8 cos of the G8 summit and they don't want to raise money, it's about awareness. There's supposed to be a second gig in Washington D.C. aswell.

Just read there's a formal announcement at a press conference in London on Tue 31st May by Sir Bob. Also some of the confirmed acts appearing at the 16 hour gig (being broadcast live by the BBC) are listed in today's paper.
