Speculation continues to grow that a second Live Aid event might take place in London in early Jul, despite Bob Geldof telling reporters recently: "It is just talk. Why would I possibly repeat something I did 20 years ago?"
Certainly it seems that the Live Aid Foundation will be giving its backing to a number of awareness-raising music events that will coincide with the next G8 Summit, which takes place in Scotland in Jul. The question is whether one of those events will be a Live Aid style benefit concert in London.
Reports that a major fundraising event is being planned gained more credibility yesterday when The Princes Trust confirmed it was cancelling its annual London based fundraising concert, the Party In The Park, in order to make way for a Live Aid event. Meanwhile there were rumours the BBC was in talks with Geldof about screening on event in London's Hyde Park on 2 Jul.
That rumoured event has been labelled Live 8, and U2, Keane and McFly are among the bands said to be interested in taking part.
