King Live 8 in Toronto...

It's pretty much confirmed, but not confirmed who will be there...

50 cent has pulled out of the Philly event cause he has "movie commitments in Canada"...does that mean he'll be here? Who knows...(I definitely don't care about fitty )...

Live 8 concert will be in Toronto, pressure Ottawa to act on aid: Geldof

1 hour, 42 minutes ago

DUBLIN, Ireland (CP) - There will be a Live 8 concert in Toronto on July 2, in part to pressure the Canadian government to increase aid to Africa, organizer Bob Geldof confirmed Thursday.

He also announced that concerts in Tokyo and Johannesburg will take place the same day, joining the five others dedicated to raising awareness of poverty.

The gigs in Toronto and Tokyo were chosen in part to pressure the Canadian and Japanese governments to give aid to Africa, Geldof said.

"Three weeks ago Europe agreed, unbelievably, to double aid, throwing the ball back to the Yanks, the Japanese and the Canadians," the musician said in a speech at an event marking the 150th anniversary of University College Dublin.

Details for the Toronto show were still being hammered out Thursday.

Organizers said they won't be ready to release the information until next Tuesday.

"Many, many elements of the concert are being finalized as we speak. We anticipate on Tuesday we will be able to announce venue, ticketing and the lineup," said Katherine Holmes, a spokeswoman for Canadian Live 8.

The logistics of the show are being organized by several people including former Sony Music Canada president Denise Donlon.

But the main reins are being handled by concert magnate Michael Cohl, a major player behind the 2003
SARS benefit concert in Toronto.

Cohl's longstanding relationship with the Rolling Stones, who are spending the summer in Toronto practising for a fall tour he's organized, has prompted speculation that they will be part of the show.

Billy Talent, The
Barenaked Ladies, Jann Arden and Our Lady Peace have also come up as possible performers.

"We're just flying. We don't know the venue. All we know is that Toronto is confirmed. There's a lot of work that's going on to try and put it all together," said Holmes.

The simultaneous concerts, which include performances by some of the biggest names in music including U2, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Sting and Sarah McLachlan, have created quite a buzz among music fans.

Geldof is hoping the star-studded event raises awareness of poverty before leaders of the wealthy G-8 countries - which include Canada - meet in Britain July 6-8.

Geldof said Thursday the concert in Johannesburg will be opened by former South African president Nelson Mandela, health permitting.

I could care less about Live 8

- Live 8 had its time and like woodstock it should not have been repeated

The Canadian line up is less than impressive if thats what is speculated. Look at the line up in europe and asia and now compare it to Toronto...
