It’s official… Live 8 is a go!
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.
Among the featured acts will be U2, Duran Duran, Coldplay, REM, Velvet Revolver, Bob Geldof, The Killers, The Dave Matthews Band, Sarah McLachlan, Stereophonics, and the Kaiser Chiefs.
Complete lists (so far) by venue here.
Is it 2 July yet?
Wow. A flashback to my teenage years.
Wow. A reminder of just how old I’ve gotten!
Glad to see Duran Duran will be playing. Hopefully this won’t mean another breakup!
