Another HUGE concert in Ottawa?

There is a possibility that Ottawa may be hosting another huge concert event this summer. Nothing has been confirmed yet but there has been talk that Live 8 may come to Ottawa on July 2nd.

What is Live 8 you ask? Bob Geldof is organizing free simultaneous concerts in some of the G8 countries to take place days before the G8 leaders meet in Britain. The goal is to bring attention to the poverty in Africa.

So far concerts are being organized in London, Philadelphia, Berlin, Rome and Paris. Some of the acts at the various locations include U2, Duran Duran, Elton John, Coldplay, Sting, Will Smith, Mariah Carey, Annie Lennox, Madonna and MANY more.

If I hear anything more about it I will be sure to let you know. In the meantime, if you are interested in finding out what other concerts are coming to Ottawa this year (and there are many), then check out our Ottawa Concerts page!
