LONDON -- London's Hyde Park, Circus Maximus in Rome and the Museum of Art in
Philadelphia are among the venues for Live 8, a series of concerts being
organized by Bob Geldof, the driving force behind the 1985 Band Aid and Live Aid
campaigns for African famine relief.

The July 2 concerts, which will be free, also will be held near the Brandenburg
Gate in Berlin and in Paris.

"We don't want people's money. We want them," Geldof told a news conference
Tuesday. He said negotiations for the Paris venue were continuing.

Performers will include Coldplay, Madonna, Paul McCartney, R.E.M. and U2 in
London; Will Smith, Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews Band, Stevie Wonder and P. Diddy in
Philadelphia; Crosby, Stills and Nash, Lauryn Hill and Brian Wilson in Berlin;
Jamiroquai, Youssou N'Dour, Yannick Noah and Placebo in Paris; and Duran Duran
in Rome.

The events are aimed at raising awareness of poverty in developing countries
just days before G8 leaders meet in Britain.

Geldof said the G8 meeting provided a "unique opportunity for Britain to do
something unparalleled in the world ... to tilt the world a little bit on its
axis in favor of the poor."

Elton John, who sat beside Geldof at the news conference, said he was very proud
to be involved."

"Now I'm fully aware of what's going on and seeing the injustices going on,"
John said. The 58-year-old pop star said he hadn't been mature enough to
appreciate the last concert 20 years ago and its ramifications.
