this is from the official page of Bob Gelfod:
Live 8 Concert ???
Bob Geldof is expected to confirm details Tuesday (May 31) of a major charity concert. The media will gather in London, England to hear details of the Live 8 concert.
The concert, which is expected to dovetail with the G8 summit, which is scheduled to take place in the United Kingdom from July 6 to 8, has been hinted at for several weeks now. Geldof said "What started 20 years ago is coming to a political point in a few weeks. There's more than a chance that the boys and girls with guitars will finally get to turn the world on its axis. What we do in the next five weeks is seriously, properly, historically, politically important."
so expect may 31 to know more details.

Someone said:
"Roger left because he thought the band would cease to exist without him, and fall like a deck of cards.
He was wrong. His mistake was underestimating the drive and desire of the other band members."
I'm surprised that Roger didn't realize that they would continue to sell tickets on the Pink Floyd name, and by playing Roger's songs. I mean, let's be fair here. Roger wrote so many great songs, and that is what kept them going after Syd wasn't in the band. And that's the same thing that kept the fans coming after Roger left. The other three are great musicians, yes, I admit. But no matter what you think of Roger, remember the facts.
would be nice to see a pink floyd concert as obviously i have never been to one being only 17 and listening to them since i was 14 but in those 3 and a half years i've listened to them they have become my 'favourite band' and their music means a lot more to me than any of the manufactured poop that comes out today for singles and albums the popularity seekers that don't deserve to be called music stars and if it was a concert they were doing i would like to see them do a selection of tracks from the whole pink floyd catologue and hopefully because they are professional there wouldn't be too much of an argument on whether they will do post waters songs (next year's Isle of Wight Rock Festival one hopes lol :laugh: )
Nick and Roger have buried the hatchet and the problem with him and Rick was even worse than him and Dave and they have recently buried the hatchet. Then you have the fact Geldof is friends with both Roger and Dave and both fancy themselves philanthropists and this is a big time charity event and I don't think it is too far fetched.
My gut actually tells me this is for real and Floyd will perform as a complete band for the first time in 25 years.
Either way I am coming because even without Floyd it's a hell of an event, but I truly do believe I am going to see my idols put it together again, set their differences aside for the greater global good and play.

PINK FLOYD NOT AT "LIVE 8" CONCERT
We have had loads of emails from people worldwide (thanks to you all!) regarding the rumours of Pink Floyd reforming (WITH Roger Waters, too) to appear at the "Live 8" concert that speculation says will be happening at the start of July.
We have heard back from the band's PR company, who categorically state that they are not appearing, and we also spoke with Pink Floyd's management (PFM) today, who confirmed that all the talk of the band reforming is simply rumour - there are no discussions between the band members past and present ongoing, and no intention to open discussions.
Obviously if things change, we'll let you know. Bear in mind, though, that "Live 8" has not yet been officially confirmed as an event that will happen... Bob Geldof, who organised the original Live Aid show, recently denied that any show would take place, however, he is expected to officially announce the show and full details on Tuesday 31st May. Sting has already admitted he is committed to the concert, having been told by Geldof that he would be appearing!
There are also rumours that the band will be appearing at this year's Glastonbury Festival. Again, no truth in this at all.

I'm new here, and I have to get some info quick!
Check out this link, it's the most current info on Live 8 at the moment. It all seems to make sense. Pink Floyd *has* signed on (no idea in what figuration) to play, but a venue has not been decided. It makes sense because this applies to the Rolling Stones and other acts as well, and they were all listed as possibilities. I think the reason they weren't mentioned this morning is because maybe they're waiting to find out exactly WHERE they're going to play? At this point, I'm just waiting to hear the word. This will be amazing, and whatever location they decide to play (please let this be true), I will be there.
yo ima new here hay every body! i just heard today on my local news for phillli that pink floyd are going to be at the live 8 they were the top of the list for performining in londen and maybe the band is trying to suprise you all iam still keeping my fingers crossed.
