Telegraph | News | Five free concerts on Live 8

I may not be the biggest fan of Bob Geldof (get a haircut! hippy) but you’ve gotta say, the man knows how to throw a party. I really think that every country except for Britain is getting screwed over in terms of line-up (esp. with murmurs of the Spice Girls being announced for Hyde Park). But the other venues sound a lot better than Hyde Park, the Brandenburg Gate (Berlin) and the Eiffel Tower (I shan’t patronise with that one) and the Circus ‘freakin’ Maximus in Rome are really unique venues for such unique events.

I know ‘it’s not for charity it’s for political justice’ but I think people should pay for their tickets rather than the random texting ticket lottery because awareness is fair enough, but money is needed as well. Right?
