After it's initial false start (the original concert was cancelled), the 46664 Concert in Cape Town last year was such a success that a second edition is now being planned for Mar 2005. Designed to raise awareness for the Nelson Mandela Foundation and its work to tackle the AIDS epidemic in Africa, the line up for the second 46664 event will be announced in the New Year, though Queen are expected to headline.
Commenting on the new event Nelson Mandela told reports: "[the 2005 event] will build on the success of our truly memorable concert in Cape Town last year. It will serve to support the efforts of the Nelson Mandela Foundation and to show the world that South Africa is really addressing this most vital issue."
On the charitable side, the 2005 concert will focus on the plight of women in sub-Saharan Africa, one of the groups of people most affected by AIDS.
