There are rumours circulating that Christina Aguilera and Paul McCartney will make surprise appearances at the Toronto SARS benefit concert on 30 Jul. Aguilera is in town the day before for a date of her co-headline tour with Timberlake – Justin is already confirmed for the benefit gig.
Promoter Riley O'Connor was coy: "We're hearing the same rumours. I've done a lot of concerts in the last 30 years. I've had special guests drop in, just show up on the night of the show while the band's on stage. We've got so much stuff there we can handle anything."
Either way, the Stones headline all day gig is gonna be big. Some stats of how the concets organisers plan to cope with 430,000 gig goers:
- The food area will take up three hectares, there will be 75 trailers.
- Five hundred concession stands will be selling 250,000 hot dogs and 250,000 burgers.
- 4m litres of water will be available on site.
- Organisers have brought in 1,546 km of toilet paper for use in their 3500 portaloos
