LIVE AID 2 IN THE PIPELINE May 17 2005
BOB Geldof has secretly clinched a deal with the BBC to screen a second Live Aid concert.
The spectacular concert in London and Washington, just days before the G8 summit in Scotland, has been dubbed Live 8.
Geldof, who joined with Midge Ure more than 20 years ago to bring the message of starving Africa to the world through music, is calling up the biggest rock stars once again. The Rolling Stones, U2, The Who, Robbie Williams, Coldplay, Oasis, Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John are finding ways to perform.
Scissor Sisters, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, Eminem, Joss Stone and the Red Hot Chili Peppers are determined to be in the massive show on July 2. Up to 100,000fans will pack into Hyde Park, with 100,000 more in Washington when the London gig ends.
There will be a world TV audience of hundreds of millions for the event designed to put pressure on leaders of the world's richest countries who meet at Gleneagles four days later to step up efforts to beat poverty.
Geldof is denying he is calling up old pals again but he is quietly masterminding the show with film maker Richard Curtis - who was behind Comic Relief - and top promoter Harvey Goldsmith.
A source said: "Every act in Britain is backing Live 8. Everyone in the industry is 100 per cent behind it and we are moving Heaven and Earth to get our artists there
