No details are known regarding the ticket allotment for the other cities. So predictably the burning question on everyones lips: How can Live8 compare to 1985's event. Well in truth it can't, 1985 was a different era in Music. there is no performer alive today who could entertain a crowd like Freddie Mercury, there is no young band that is going to propel themselves to the top of the world like U2 did. People feel dissillusioned with music today but hopefully Live8 will help to bring some of that fiery interest back while at the same time re-energising the world to make a stand against third-world poverty.
