A Little Live 8
All of the approximately 35,000 free tickets available for Canada's Live 8 show, to be staged in Barrie, Ontario, were grabbed up in just 21 minutes.
The July 2nd event is one of eight blockbusters that will be held simultaneously around the world. It is the hope of organizers that the concerts will influence the leaders of the wealthy G8 nations to increase aid to Africa when they meet in Scotland next month.
Live 8 shows are scheduled in Philadelphia, London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Tokyo and Johannesburg, as well as the Canadian show, which was the last to be announced and will be the smallest. More than 1,000 musicians will be performing at the concerts, which will be broadcast on 182 television networks and 2,000 radio networks.
