What is Live 8?
{{noref|date=March 2025}} {{Infobox concert |concert_name = Live 8 |date = July 2 and 6, 2005 }} '''Live 8''' was a rock concert organized by [[activist]] [[Bob Geldof]]. The concert took place in nine places at once on [[July 2]], [[2005]]. Like Bob's [[Live Aid]] concert, Live 8 was made for helping out [[Africa]]n citizens who were not getting enough food and medicine. However, this concert was not for [[charity (practice)|charity]]. Instead, it was held to make people aware of the [[famine]] in Africa. Bob wanted to make the political group named the [[G8]] give more to Africa. The concerts featured singers like [[Paul McCartney]], [[Juan Diego Flórez]] and [[U2]]. In November 2005, the concerts were released on [[DVD]]. The money used to buy the DVD sets was also used to help Africans. [[Category:2005 in music]] [[Category:Concerts]] {{music-stub}}
