June 21, 2005

MÖTLEY CRÜE and DEEP PURPLE will be taking part in Canada's Live 8 concert, which will be held July 2 near Barrie, Ontario, according to The Globe and Mail.

The anti-poverty concert will coincide with other gigs around the world.

The event is being staged to bring attention to the problem of world poverty and pressure leaders of industrialized countries to take action.

The Barrie site can hold 35,000 people. Concert goers will be limited to two tickets each. Tickets are free and will be available starting at 10 a.m. EDT from Ticketmaster. Those seeking tickets, however, will have to answer a quiz.

The show will run 11 a.m. EDT to 8 p.m. CTV will broadcast the performance.

The list of performers also includes BRYAN ADAMS, CELINE DION, BLUE RODEO, GREAT BIG SEA, OUR LADY PEACE, AFRICAN GUITAR SUMMIT, BARENAKED LADIES, JANN ARDEN, BRUCE COCKBURN, GORDON LIGHTFOOT, TRAGICALLY HIP, TOM COCHRANE, and SAM ROBERTS. Ms. Dion will appear by satellite.

Dan Ackroyd and Tom Green will host.

The Live 8 series is timed to coincide with a summit of the world's biggest industrialized countries in Scotland. Concert organizer Bob Geldof said Canada is in a unique position to lead the fight against world poverty, noting that it is the only G7 nation boasting a surplus.
