The details of this summer's Live 8 concert are expected to be announced today by Sir Bob Geldof. Acts like Coldplay, Robbie Williams, U2 and Oasis are said to be lined up to take part, although rumours of a Spice Girls reunion have been rubbished.

Tuesday's announcement is expected to reveal the line-up of stars taking part and how people can get tickets, although there's rumours there'll be a 'public lottery' for them. Live 8 is the name given to two concerts held around the world this summer on 2 July - one in Hyde Park in London and one in Washington, US.

Sir Bob was also behind the famous Live Aid concert 20 years ago that raised millions to help people in Africa.
Live Aid was split between two sites - in London and Philadelphia, US
Acts at the UK gig included U2, David Bowie, Queen, Wham and Dire Straits
Acts at the US gig included Madonna, Duran Duran, Bob Dylan and The Beach Boys
It was the world's biggest rock festival, watched by 1.5bn people in 160 countries

Live 8 is being held at the same time as a big meeting of world leaders in Scotland called the G8 summit. The summit is a meeting of eight of the richest and most powerful world leaders. They talk about global issues.
