Spice Girls tipped to play Live 8

A Spice Girls reunion, Robbie Williams and U2 are just some of the acts reported to performing at Live 8.

That's the name being given to a series of concerts happening around the world this summer to try and persuade politicians to do more to help Africa.

The concerts are happening on 2 July with Hyde Park tipped for the UK gig and Washington for the US event.

Destiny's Child, Black Eyed Peas, Alicia Keys and Outkast are all being lined up to perform at the US show.

Sir Bob was also behind the famous Live Aid concert 20 years ago that raised millions to help people in Africa.

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.

But many people think these countries don't do enough to help poorer countries like the ones in Africa.
