Live 8 – Five concerts around the globe

After many years of refusing to stage anything like Live Aid ever again, Bob Geldof made the official announcement today confirming Live 8. Called this as a nod to the G8 summit, the concert will take place simultaneously in five different cities across the globe: London, Berlin, Paris, Philadelphia, and Rome. Already rumoured, but now confirmed by Sir Geldof himself: U2 will play at the London concert in Hyde Park.
A text lottery will determine who gets to go to the free concert in Hyde Park, London. The line up consists of the following (and probably some): London U2 Mariah Carey Coldplay Dido Keane Sir Elton John Annie Lennox Madonna Muse Razorlight Scissor Sisters Sir Paul McCartney Joss Stone Stereophonics Sting Robbie Williams REM Velvet Revolver Bob Geldof The Killers The Cure Snow Patrol Berlin A-ha Crosby, Stills and Nash Brian Wilson Lauryn Hill Bap Die Toten Hosen Peter Maffay Paris Jamiroquai Craig David Youssou N'Dour Yannick Noah Andrea Bocelli Calo Gero Kyo Placebo Axelle Red Johnny Halliday Manu Chao Renaud Philadelphia Will Smith (host) Bon Jovi Maroon 5 P Diddy Stevie Wonder Jay-Z The Dave Matthews Band Sarah McLachlan Rob Thomas Keith Urban 50 Cent Kaiser Chiefs Rome Duran Duran Faith Hill Irene Grandi Jovanotti Tim McGraw Nek Laura Pasini Vasco Ross Zucchero
