The Pet Shop Boys are to headline the very recently announced Live 8 concert in Moscow, which is set to take place in Red Square. The Moscow event has brought the total number of Live 8 gigs taking place across the globe this Saturday to 10, one in each of the G8 nations, with additional live events in South Africa and at the Eden Project in Cornwall.
And in related news, fans of Elton John will be able to see coverage of Live 8 at his Dublin show on Saturday as there are plans to erect two giant screens at the venue, which will open early, at 1pm, so that the audience can watch his Live 8 set before he flies over to Ireland.
