Musical Celebration

Nobel Peace Prize Laureate and one of the most recognisable and beloved leaders of our time, Nelson Mandella, will be celebrating his 90th birthday this summer.

To mark the occasion, leading names from sport, business and politics will come togeter in Hyde Park on the 27th June to watch a concert performed by some of the world's biggest artists.

The concert proceeds will go to the 46664 campaign, which raises awareness about the impact of AIDS, especially in Africa, and promotes effective HIV prevention measures throughout the world.

The line-up ihas now been announced and includes:

Queen + Paul Rodgers, Annie Lennox, Simple Minds, Leona Lewis, the Sugababes, Dame Shirley Bassey, Razorlight, Andrea and Sharon Corr, Eddy Grant, and Jamelia, along with international 46664 Ambassadors Italy’s Zucchero and Spain’s Amaral.

We're also told that the concert will feature some un-annouced special guests to take Mr. Mandela and the audience by surprise. Your guess is as good as mine - could we see another Led Zep concert perhaps?

Tickets go on public sale on Friday 9th May at 9am and you can get them from www.livenation.co.uk . They're £65 plus booking fee.
