Nelson Mandela’s 90th Birthday Concert
Filed Under Concerts | 5 Comments
Angelo found the following on a Led Zeppelin web site:
Robert Plant is scheduled to appear on June 27, 2008 at London’s Hyde Park for a concert celebrating Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday.
What is interesting about this article is that “Robert Plant *and special guests*” will perform. Of course, this is mere speculation as to whom these special guests might be.
Also scheduled to perform in London are Annie Lennox and David A. Stewart, Bono and The Edge, Bryan Adams, Eminem, Eric Clapton, John Mayer and Buddy Guy, Jay-Z and Beyonce, Jools Holland, Joss Stone, Keane, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Lenny Henry , Paul McCartney with Stevie Wonder, Peter Gabriel, Queen with George Michael, Paul Rodgers with Robbie Williams, Razorlight, Roger Waters, Sheryl Crow, Spice Girls, Sting, Tina Turner, Vusi Mahlasela and Will Smith.

The official site finally has the links working for all the tour news. (How difficult is that to check?) A number of offers for fan club members only are available for pre-sale tickets. I hope it works out for all of you buying tickets. My experiences with FanFire have been dreadful and my opinion won’t change until I get the t-shirt I’ve been waiting eight months for.
