Coldplay, U2 and Madonna play at Live 8
 You've probably heard by now - it's been all over the news - but this year sees the return of Live Aid (kind of). It's called Live 8 - like Live Aid it's been organised by Bob Geldof and pals - and it coincides with the Make Poverty History G8 rally in Edinburgh on 2 July. This time there will be five concerts held in London, Rome, Paris, Berlin and Philadelphia and, together with the rally, they will see millions of people around the world demanding an end to poverty. The demands will be focused towards the eight most powerful and richest countries in the world who will be attending the G8 summit in Gleneagles, Scotland. 6 - 8 July. The line up for the London gig is like a who's who of the biggest stars, including Coldplay, Dido, Keane, Sir Elton John, Madonna, Muse, Razorlight, Scissor Sisters, Sir Paul McCartney, Joss Stone, Stereophonics, Robbie Williams, U2, REM and, err, Mariah Carey. You can only get tickets via a text lottery, from 8.00 am on Monday 6 June.
