Geldof confirms what is essentially "Live Aid II," refuses to call it that
http://music.yahoo.com/read/news/19708569

Live Aid founders Bob Geldof and Midge Ure confirmed Thursday they are planning a star-studded concert to fight poverty in Africa — but insisted it wouldn't be Live Aid II.

Rumors have swirled for weeks that a Live Aid sequel featuring megastars like Madonna, U2, Paul McCartney and a reunited Spice Girls will be held in Hyde Park in early July, days before leaders of the world's richest nations meet for a G8 summit in Scotland.

"There's never going to be a Live Aid II," Geldof said Thursday at the Ivor Novello songwriting awards ceremony in London, "but there's something brewing."

"It's big. And it's as petrifying as the build up to Live Aid, if not more so," he said. "We'll have all the biggest names we can find. But it's not just about big names, it's about making a point."
