Africa Calling - Live8 at the Eden Project

Africa Calling - Live8 at the Eden Project

The Eden Project is to stage a major Live8 concert on July 2nd under the banner of "Africa Calling" and programmed and presented in association with WOMAD and its co-founder Peter Gabriel, together with Senegalese superstar Youssou N'Dour.

The evening itself will be hosted by Peter Gabriel, who has championed World Music for the past 25 years. Youssou N'Dour and Peter Gabriel have invited many of their favourite African artists to perform at the event.

The concert will be held on the stage in the Eden arena with the world's biggest greenhouses providing a spectacular backdrop in the crater.

This outstanding line-up will bring the spectacular Eden site alive with unbeatable African party spirit. Transmissions will be made from the event by the BBC as part of the Live8 celebration.

Further announcements regarding the event and how to register an interest will be made on this site shortly (Our Box Office has no additional information at this stage).
