'Live Aid II' to help victims

A HUGE fundraising concert is being planned to tap into the widespread compassion for the survivors of the devastating tsunami disaster.

Dubbed "Live Aid II", it means the UK could again lead international fundraising efforts. It was reported last night that U2 and Robbie Williams had been lined up to perform at the concert.

Cardiff’s 70,000-seat Millennium Stadium has been earmarked as the venue for the proposed concert.

Backers have been working on the project for the past five days and have pencilled in 22 January for the landmark event.

They say organisationally and logistically everything is already in place.

Paul Sergeant, the Millennium Stadium’s general manager, said he would hope to raise at least 1 million.
