Thousands More To See Live 8 At Hyde Park

Thousands more music fans will get the chance to see the Live 8 concert in Hyde Park after it was announced massive screens will be erected around the site.

The huge screens and speakers will be put up around the site for those not fortunate enough to win one of the 150,000 tickets for the main arena, according to The Evening Standard.

Event organiser Bob Geldof said: “I’m not supposed to talk about this — but other people tell me there are arrangements to allow hundreds of thousands more into the park.”

Bur event promoter Harvey Goldsmith refused to mention specifics: "All I can tell you is that I am producing this event and we have 150,000 people coming into a secured arena to watch the show.

"All those tickets have been distributed. That is all we can let in."

The Live 8 concert on July 2 features performances from Coldplay, Scissor Sisters, The Killers, REM, The Cure and Velvet Revolver.
