Well....I go on the Official Live 8 website every day, & several times a day, (for additional artists performing in each city, changes, etc.
and it updated today.. and SO FAR, Queen are not yet on it....but...then the press said an ENTIRE month before Geldof would confirm it, that Pink Floyd were reuniting and performing...a month later..the official announcement was made.
In the meantime, here is the official website. Click on concerts, then click on each city..London, Paris, etc.

I also update my blog daily too to refelct all additional artists and changes on my blogs listed below.
Also...there are some errors on that BBC site.
BOTH The Cure and Muse are playing in PARIS, at the Palais de Versailles, NOT in London at Hyde Park.
Also....did you notice it says THE WHO are performing?
But there is no confirmation from Geldof...yet...on The Who performing at
Live 8...but..where there is smoke...there is..fire..
HMMMMMMMMMM

I have heard/read that The Who were performing as well from quite a few sources but nothing official announced yet from Geldof.
I agree the Live 8 site is best for confirmed acts and can see they have updated this now to show Muse/Cure in Paris but other sources appear to get some info before the official annoucement/web page.
In most cases they have been right.
The latest thing I read in one of the UK papers yesterday was that The Sex Pistols are reforming to take part (at least the ones that are still alive). Time will tell if this turns out to be true.

What a cheap title... "Live 8 - The Long Walk To Justice" instead of "The Long Walk To Freedom" (46664)
Queen can't be at Hyde Park, because they are in Portugal... It's unlikely they're going to move their asses like crazy dogs. But I'm sure they'll be involved in some way.

Motley Crue, Canada On Board For Live 8 Plus Updates Galore!
By Arlene R. Weiss Copyright June 21, 2005
Bob Geldof has officially confirmed that Canada, has now come on board becoming the 6th country of the G8 nations, to participate and hold one of the Live 8 concerts also to be simultaneously held on Saturday July 2, 2005. Toronto will host the Canada leg of the Live 8 concert which will be held at Park Place. Canadian natives Dan Akroyd and Tom Greene are hosts for the event.
Topping a bill of the Creme de La Creme of Canadian music artists is American hard rocking superstars, the reunited one and only Motley Crue.
Here’s the lineup as of 6/21/2005, with additional artists and updates to come.
Toronto:
Motley Crue’
Deep Purple
Bryan Adams
Blue Rodeo
Bruce Cockburn
Barenaked Ladies
Our Lady Peace
The Tragically Hip
African Guitar Summit
The Bachman Cummings Band
Doba Caracol featuring Kna’an
Gordon Lightfoot
Great Big Sea
Jann Arden
Les Trois Accords
Sam Roberts
Simple Plan
Tegan and Sara
Tom Cochrane
In other Live 8 news, The Cure will be headlining at the Palais de Versailles, Paris, France Live 8 concert, and additionally, Muse, Sheryl Crow, Shakira, and Tina Arena have joined the roster of that concert.
PINK FLOYD!!!!
And once again…to reconfirm, a reunited Pink Floyd will be performing at London’s Hyde Park Live 8 concert, seeing the first performance of all 4 original members, Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Rick Wright in some twenty years. The relationship between Waters and Gilmour has been contentious at best over the years, with Waters even suing Gilmour at one point for touring under the Pink Floyd banner.
But leave it to Sir Bob Geldof himself, (who portrayed the character of Pink in the film adaptation of Pink Floyd’s “The Wall”), to serve as the ultimate peacemaker and bring back together, this legendary band, for what is perhaps the most highly anticipated act and performance of Live 8.
Gilmour, often recognized himself as quite the altruist to charitable causes, has stated that “Like most people, I want to do everything I can to persuade the G8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world. It’s crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations. Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if reforming for this concert will help focus attention, then it’s got to be worthwhile.”
While more and more artists are continually joining the lineup at each of the Live 8 concerts, 2 stars that have voluminous rumours swirling of their performing at Live 8, are The Who, and also, a potential satellite link performance by Queen who are touring Internationally with Paul Rodgers doing the fronting honors, with the link being from their July 2nd concert performance in Lisbon, Portugal.
While confirmation is still pending on both The Who and Queen+Paul Rodgers, fan websites are in a feeding frenzy as was also the case prior to the official confirmation of the reunion and performance of Pink Floyd at Live 8.
In addition, activist, artist, and musician Peter Gabriel will be hosting The Eden Project, Africa Calling with Senegalese superstar Youssou N’Dour in Cornwall, England. Here’s the lineup for this companion concert to Live 8, also held Saturday July 2, 2005 whose aim is to highlight and feature musicians from Africa, assisting the cause of Live 8.
Eden Project/Africa Calling:
Angelique Kidjo
Maryam Mursal
Salif Keita
Thomas Mapfumo
Tinariwen
Daara J
Shikisha
Ayub Ogada
Modou Diouf and O Fogum
