A series of concerts hosted worldwide for the G8 leaders to stop poverty in Africa. They were hosted in Rome, Italy; Philadelhia, USA; Hyde Park, UK; Toronto, Canada; Berlin, Germany; Moscow, Russia; and Tokyo, Japan on July 2nd, 2005. This was brought together by Bob Geldof, the same man who organized Live Aid 20 years ago. The purpose was to bring attention to the horrible poverty conditions in Africa where 30,000 children die a day due to cureable diseases. Geldof is also asking the G8 leaders to cancel Africa's debt and to let them decide their future, as well as raising their aid. Popular bands such as Coldplay, Green Day, Pink Floyd, U2, Paul McCartney, Crosby Stills Nash, and Neil Young performed, as well as many other big names. Hundreds of bands performed in the largest live performance in all of human history.
