The concert event, Time to Deliver - The AIDS 2006 Concert, will feature a lineup of star performers, dignitaries and leaders, and is being co-presented by the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) and the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund Canada (NMCFC). The lineup of outstanding musical performers includes Amanda Marshall, Chantal Kreviazuk, the Barenaked Ladies, Our Lady Peace, Alicia Keys, Thomas Mapfumo from Zimbabwe, the Red Spirit Singers and Dancers, Massari, Blue Man Group, DJ Tiesto from The Netherlands and more. The concert will immediately follow the official opening proceedings. "These two events in one evening at the Rogers Centre - the opening with the concert promise to make this a memorable evening that will bring even greater attention to the AIDS issue here in Canada and around the world," said Andrew Pringle, CANFAR Board President. The opening proceedings will include welcome remarks by Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaelle Jean, Governor General of Canada, The Honourable Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario and His Worship David Miller, Mayor of Toronto; as well as remarks by Frika Chia Iskandar, a young Indonesian woman living with HIV/AIDS; and UNAIDS Executive Director Dr. Peter Piot. The opening will conclude with a keynote address by Bill and Melinda Gates, Co-Chairs of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and a performance by Canadian opera star Measha Brueggergosman with musicians from the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. Other major participants attending the conference include former Presidents Mary Robinson and Bill Clinton, HRH Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, who is a UNAIDS Special Representative, and actors Richard Gere and Olympia Dukakis. "This conference is a tremendous opportunity to share knowledge and develop new strategies to prevent infection and prolong life for people living with HIV/AIDS," said Dr. Mark Wainberg, Chair of the AIDS 2006 Toronto Local Host. "The conference organizers are extremely grateful for all the speakers, performers and other participants who have agreed to lend their voices and mobilize action in support of our conference theme, Time to Deliver." Tickets for the official opening and concert are on sale to the public. "This concert is truly a community event, uniting conference participants with the people of Toronto in our shared commitment to fight AIDS. We are grateful to have the partnership of CANFAR, NMCFC and ACT in making these events possible for our community and the conference," said Darryl Perry, Executive Director of the AIDS 2006 Toronto Local Host. Doors at the Rogers Centre will open at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 13. The Official Opening Session will begin at 7:00 p.m., and the concert will begin by 9:00 p.m. immediately following the Official Opening.

Proceeds from the concert will go towards fighting the HIV/AIDS pandemic both locally and globally through CANFAR, the NMCFC, and the AIDS Committee of Toronto Community Partners Fund, and will also support future scholarships for the next International AIDS Conference to be held in Mexico City in 2008. "This concert brings together people from all over the world who are united in the fight against AIDS," says Mark Beckles, Chief Executive Officer of the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund Canada. "The International AIDS Conference is the biggest event happening in Toronto this summer, and this concert is not to be missed." AIDS 2006 brings together the best minds from science, research and social policy, as well as the voices of communities affected by HIV/AIDS. An estimated 20,000 participants from over 140 countries are expected to attend the biennial conference, the largest and most important gathering in the fight against AIDS, to be held in Toronto, Canada from 13-18 August 2006. The conference is organized around three components: science, community, and leadership. The programme will offer over 400 sessions, meetings and workshops featuring important scientific advances and discussion of current policy issues among political, scientific and community leaders and others on the frontlines of the epidemic. The programme will feature the latest research and a wide variety of activities, including sessions planned by and for young people, Viral Culture which is the Cultural Activities Programme in museums, galleries and other venues throughout downtown Toronto, and the Global Village that will be open to the general public. The latest information about the full conference programme is available on the conference website at www.aids2006.org.

In fact, I can't remember the name of the SHIP parked beside The Dock's right now, but I say we have Tijs set up shop on that and tour around the island to the sunrise on a Monday morning!!!

~peace

for some odd reason, ive got this feeling that Circa will FINALLY be opening up that weekend with tiesto headlining on saturday night. i havent heard anything about it but its just this gut feeling ive got.


does anyone have any updates on when circa is planning on opening? they've been pushing back the opening date since the last time tiesto was here.

im actually really looking forward to going to this club after i read that article about it.

They had a Job Fair on July 19th. A friend of mine went and applied for a bartender position, and got several juicy pieces of information. First, I'm told from this source...that they have hired alot of the old Lucid management and are scheduled to open Mid September.

Second, as everyone knows, the FAKE launch on May 21st was purely for publicity. It seems to have worked rather well.

And third, I personally dont think their are any plans to bring Tiesto to Circa in the immediate future. But that's just my assumption.

That's what I know

If RJ calls...he will come.

we can only hope circa doesn't open that weekend.....oh the disaster that place will be....at least for that weekend.

Oh wow this is cool...I'm there!


Tiesto in Concert @ the Rogers Centre?

word! let's show them what we can do .. liquor licence or without!

No thanks - I'll pass on that event. Tiesto, followed up by a MASSIVE BNL Set! Sweeet :P Great way to come down

This is indeed true, he will be here. However, it will only be for a 15 minute promo set (which is exculded from his management contracts).

From what I heard...

There was an agreement for him to play the opening night party but that hit some snags when his Canadian management got involved. He wanted to do it, everything was agreed upon but then some legal problems (number of apearances in Canada, the agreed upon fee, etc.)

If what I heard is true...you have to love his Canadian management team for keeping him from playing for a very worthy cause.

Not sure if these are related but...(from Tiesto's website)

Ti�sto4Life As an artist I have been able to travel across our planet. The number of milestones that I have achieved during my career are many. From the opening of the Olympic Games to the first DJ ever to sell-out a stadium event. But the most important aspect is the contact I have with people from all over the world. The chance to communicate through my music as I believe in the power of music as a universal language. I have always supported charities privately. Many charities have contacted me to become an ambassador. Sometimes I agreed to do something for them, but I never found one that fitted me perfectly. A charity that gives me the chance to go more in-depth both as a person and an artist. Until I came across Dance4Life. The enthusiasm and commitment they have to fulfill their dream inspires me, and it has become my dream now too. The way Dance4Life engages with young people around the world to do something about the HIV / AIDS problem is very powerful. They offer young people an attractive way to do something themselves, and reward those who have that with a spectacular event. The combination of serious content and entertainment assures that Dance4Life gets young people on the move. The closing Dance4Life events are organized simultaneously around the globe and are audio-visually connected. All participating youngsters have taken part in the Dance4Life schools project. Starting in 2004 Dance4Life was already active in three continents; Africa, Asia and Europe. This year Dance4Life will be produced in at least 8 different countries, and I have decided to be their ambassador! This means I will do many things to make Dance4Life a huge success. I will perform at their events, produce their 2006 anthem and be part of their mass-media campaign in different ways to spread their message:'Start Dancing, Stop Aids, Dance4Life!' The countries that will probably take part this year are: Tanzania, Kenya, Indonesia, Ireland, UK, Russia, Germany, Vietnam, South Africa and the Netherlands. Dance4Life Netherlands is presented by STOP AIDS NOW! and MY Body. All money generated by Dance4Life Netherlands will be spent by these two NGO's on projects aimed at prevention and awareness for young people in the countries most hit by HIV / AIDS. www.dance4life.com
