I'm going to London for this...

Music-wise, the line-up is to include Queen + Paul Rodgers, Annie Lennox, Simple Minds, Leona Lewis, the Sugababes, Dame Shirley Bassey, Razorlight, Andrea and Sharon Corr, Eddy Grant, and Jamelia

Anyone else gonna be there? Do you think it'll be rubbish?

Are these things ever any good?

There seems to have been quite a few in recent years (Live 8, Diana, live earth). Even if there is someone you want to watch they only get about three songs anyway. And you get the preaching you get in between acts as well. They never really appeal to me.

To be fair

At least Live Earth had fucking Metallica!

But, yeah, this looks terrible.

but how long did they play for?

and you probably wouldn't get the flame and fireworks that they normally have, which is half the fun!

Just looking at the first post again, they haven't even got the full corrs line up, what happened to man corr and the other one?

I went to the one when he had just been released

and the line up was much better - Neil Young, Lou Reed, Statsasonic, Jungle Brothers, Peter Gabriel. AND Simple Minds. Think I'll give this one a miss
