From the Associated Press:

Quote:

LONDON — The lineups and venues are being firmed up for Live 8, a series of free concerts organized by Bob Geldof, the driving force behind the 1895 Band Aid and Live Aid campaigns for African famine relief.

The list includes Elton John, Mariah Carey, Coldplay, Madonna, Paul McCartney, R.E.M., Velvet Revolver, Sting, Annie Lennox, Joss Stone, the Cure and U2 in London; Will Smith, Bon Jovi, the Dave Matthews Band, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z and P. Diddy in Philadelphia; Crosby, Stills and Nash, Lauryn Hill and Brian Wilson in Berlin; Jamiroquai, Youssou N'Dour, Yannick Noah and Craig David in Paris; and Faith Hill and Duran Duran in Rome.

The July 2 concerts are aimed at raising world awareness of poverty in Africa just days before the leaders of eight industrialized countries known as the G8, which includes the U.S., meet in Britain.

Geldof said the meeting is a "unique opportunity for Britain to do something unparalleled in the world ... to tilt the world a little bit on its axis in favor of the poor."

omi...did geldolf really spell "favor" that way or was it just the Americain journalist lol

today i read that madonna and sting will be performing a duet

more importantly live aid in 1895...wow i must be friggin old to remember that the first time around

Yeah, the Live Aid in 1895 was a real hootenanny. You young whipper-snappers really missed out!

A Sting-Madonna duet sounds like one of the signs of the apocalypse... RUN!!!

how about dido and eminem...that is on the grapevine
