SCOTTISH LINE UP.6TH JULY. G8

Ure unveils tartan Live 8 line-up.

Travis are among the acts confirmed to play the event.
Travis, Texas and Ronan Keating are among the acts who will perform at the Live 8 concert in Edinburgh.
The free Murrayfield show has been timed to coincide with the Long Walk to Justice rally in the city on 6 July. Organiser Midge Ure dismissed fears the event could attract trouble and predicted it would be a party rather than "a dreadful situation". The line-up includes Daniel and Natasha Bedingfield, The Thrills, Dido, McFly, Damon Albarn, Embrace and Snow Patrol.
Wet Wet Wet, The Proclaimers, Jamie Cullum, The Zutons, Youssou N'Dour and Annie Lennox will also play.
Midge Ure is organising a rally and concert in Edinburgh. People will be able to apply for tickets by text message. Ure and fellow organiser Geldof, the men behind the 1980s Live Aid campaign, plan a series of international concerts on 2 July as part of their call to world leaders for renewed action on global poverty. They chose Edinburgh as the final destination for the Long Walk to Justice on 6 July, the first day of the Gleneagles G8 summit. Geldof has called for a million people to descend on the city for the rally, but Ure told Tuesday's media conference that he did not think the number would be that high.
"We've no idea who's going to come, what's going to come, but we know the type of people who will come," he said.
