legola5 Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 For all (both) of that don't know, Live 8 is the follow up Live Aid; A concert (however) many years ago that was for charity. Live 8 is about the campaign to make poverty history, and it's going to be big. There will be five concerts in as many countrys and the provisional band list is below. (ALthough it is not on the list, it is expected that the spice girls will reform for the London gig (Woohoo :roll:)) Hyde Park, London Coldplay Dido Sir Elton John Keane Annie Lennox Madonna Mariah Carey Muse Scissor Sisters Sir Paul McCartney Joss Stone Stereophonics Sting Robbie Williams U2 REM Velvet Revolver Bob Geldof The Killers The Cure Snow Patrol Museum of Art, 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 Eiffel Tower, Paris Jamiroquai Craig David Youssou N'Dour Yannick Noah Andrea Bocelli Calo Gero Kyo Placebo Axelle Red Johnny Halliday Manu Chao Renaud Brandenburg Gate, Berlin A-ha Crosby, Stills and Nash Brian Wilson Lauryn Hill Bap Die Toten Hosen Peter Maffay Circus Maximus, Rome Duran Duran Faith Hill Irene Grandi Jovanotti Tim McGraw Nek Laura Pasini Vasco Rossi Zucchero Entry to all concerts is free and details of how to get tickets can probably be found on a good national news site.

Danabis Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Weird, doesn't appeal to me much at all. After a quick look the only band I care about at all from that list is REM. EDIT: Just noticed Muse.

Mercifull Posted June 1, 2005 Share Posted June 1, 2005 Long time no speak Legola5, hope youre keeping well As for Live8, im gonna text in about 20 times :D Its worth it. Its a once in a lifetime thing, its not like Bob Geldof is gonna be up for it in another 20 years. Ive seen a lot of those bands before but the atmosphere there will be incredible. http://www.live8live.com Mercifull <3 Suzi "We don't want players to be able to buy their way to success in RuneScape.

devilheart14 Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 im hearing entry is free :? don't get that bit if there trying to raise money just 50 bucks or something each as there are heaps of bands playing and they could make soooo much for africa dont get why they dont charge a small fee and make heaps for the needy!!! :D :D :D Aussie Aussie Aussie, :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its mainly about awareness but they will still raise millions. It costs ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã1.50 per lottery text entry and you can text in however many times you want. At least ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã1.6 million raised from the text competition will go to The Prince's Trust Source: Official Live8 Site They dont need to charge $50 (ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâã20) because the bands and celebrities will be doing it for free. The only costs will be staging the actual event which will easily be covered by the millions of people expected to text in to get a ticket. However, despite what ppl are saying this is not a charity event. The concerts will be FREE but they are not fundraisers and will be a rallying point for the largest political constituency ever mobilised to call for justice for Africa and the world's poor. They will focus the whole world's attention on the critical decisions to be made by the G8 four days later, decision that will change the world.
