Live Eight!!! (offical site)
Can't believe i missed this thread, I'm the biggest U2 fan, or at least on this forum and i'm counting down the days (25), i would go to London and see the uber show, but a 45 minute drive to Philly will have to do. I'm sooo going, at least if i can get down there, which looks pretty good right now. I plan on bringing a couple friends down too, so it'll be fun.
They are still talking about the effect of Live Aid 20 years ago, this is our generations version of it, so if you happen to be in the area and willing to go, its gonna be a great show. Also the bands listed aren't the only ones that will be playing, they will have a load of Local Bands there too, Live Aid is where a bunch of musicans got the big boost to their career.
Also, Join the
ONE campaign and petition the United States to sign over 1% of the Budget to aid Poverty and AIDS in Africa, its free and a good cause.
