Geldof unveils Live 8 show plans
Bob Geldof has unveiled plans for a repeat of 1985’s Live Aid concert, called Live 8, to highlight the ongoing problem of global poverty and debt.
The free event will be held in London’s Hyde Park on 2 July with concerts in Philadelphia, Paris, Rome and Berlin. Madonna and Sir Paul McCartney are among stars playing in London while Stevie Wonder is on the US line-up. A text message lottery is being held on 6 June to determine who will gain tickets to the UK concert.
