Live aid 2 has been confirmed in the UK @ Hyde Park 2nd July.
Can't see our boys playing it though as they are scheduled to play Lisbon.
Shame ;-(

It's not Live Aid 2 and will not be billed as such.
It's a benefit for the unbelieveably wealthy rock stars to show their support of Bono in his crusade ot get 3rd World debt wiped out - it's a nod to the G8 Countries and their governments.
I understand it will be billed as Live 8.
Geldoff has sworn that Live Aid will never happen again.

Not shame at all! I´m from Portugal and i´m going to enjoy every single minute of it! But, hey, they can make an appearance via Satelite, or they could put the Lisbon concert as part of Live 8.
Take care
Another use of charity to boost Bono's ego I see...

Live8 was a suggestion for the title of the event being that the concerts timing coincided with the gathering of the G8 countries within the UK but this is far from confirmed.
Geldoff was quoted to have been keen to launch the event under the status of Live Aid
'SIR BOB GELDOF has organised his LIVE AID II concert to coincide with this year's 2005, G8 summit - to put pressure on US president GEORGE W BUSH."' as pasted from the above links.
The fact of the matter is, a concert is to be held on the afomentioned date to which one can deduce Queen will not be part of due to prior commitments.
I think it's stupid. I mean nothing could top Live Aid especially if they try top re-do it. And you can bet all the Z-list stars like Will Young and Rachel Stevens will be there. Purlease!

Don't think Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, U2, Elton John, Oasis, Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, Madonna, and Eminem would appreciate that. They are already confirmed. Some of them are listed on the press release below, some have been added since.

FYI read my blog, all the updates are on it and all the information as to what G8 is and how and why it came about and what it is for.

Also...since you all think U2 and Geldof have such egos...well unlike Live Aid, G8 will be...
....FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!
The 2 concerts in London & Washington DC are being held to raise global awareness and NOT raid your wallet. How is that for NOT having egos. These stars are playing for free, donating their time and you can SEE them perform for FREE!!!!

Damn! Wish I lived in London now :(
But Elton John can't sing, he's crap. Why on earth would they want him or Robbie Williams to turn up?
Well, I hate 'em but they seem to draw in hordes of morons to these events and they make a fair bit of dough, so if it'll help charity... PFFFT.
And it's stupid. If someone doesn't turn up to a charity event they're called ignorant and told they have no heart. If they do turn up to a charity event, they're told that they're only doing it to feed their egos. Where exactly do you buggers get off? Bono might be a complete fucktard but heck - if the byproduct of that is at least a tiny bit of cash going to the 3rd world, then why the hell not? Just ignore him and his stupid glasses.

Some how, Bono will turn this around to help himself and U2, he always does.
It's all well and good helping charities and all, but he makes such a big deal of it all the time, with press conferences and speeches before every other song at a U2 concert, he's just a bit too "look at me" for my liking.
People help charities everyday, but it doesn't mean they all have to make press releases about it.

IS THIS ANOTHER THING FOR BONO TO THINK HE'S THE GREATEST STAR IN THE WORLD,GREATEST PRAT I WOULD GO FOR.
HE IS TOTALLY OVER RATED & HE THINKS HE'S THE MOST IMPORTANT ROCK STAR. PLUS I BET THERE IS SOME RUBBISH ON THE SHOW. ALSO GELDOF IS A PRAT TOO, WHAT ABOUT MIDGE URE, HE WAS AS MUCH A PART OF LIVE AID & GETS NO THANKS FOR IT.

I hear Bono is going to do a Phil Collins and fly from the London gig to the one in Washington. What a fucking 1st class DICK.
thank god they're playing in Lisbon that day cuz I'm gonna be there! :P
and Bono as done a lot for charity so shut up!
if it was Brian you would say that he was the greatest and what not! but since it is a member of another band you see him as a show off!! come on...
