Rumoured extra date for Melbourne Nov

Channel 7 announced a possible "G8 type" show in Melbourne on 21st November at Telstra Dome on the news tonight. Not much more detail other than it will be for charity.

I was told about this aswell, apparently they showed footage of Bono talking about it recorded with a camera phone.

It looked like some old video off U2.com. He was talking about Make Poverty History in general.

anyway.. . great news for those who failed to get tickets for the earlier shows.

Well, the schedule certainly allows for a third show to be slotted in on the 21st, and ever since the tour was announced, I was wondering if there would be something in there. I hope there is!

Putting them on the bill would be the quickest way to slash attendance figures in half.

Kylie, a definite possibility, good friend of Bono's and all, Melbourne is her home town, big crowd/attention puller in Australia. INXS, no fucking way will you see that happen.

If it is in G20/Festival type vein, they will probably make up the balance with Aussie acts who will be around for Homebake the week after, like Silverchair etc. This type of gig also sounds like the perfect coat tails for Powderfiner to ride Count them in as well.

I still don't get the idea of having a gig aimed at G20 being held 2 days after the conference has ended though.

edit: And just as I post, I see that the date booked is now the 17th, which makes way more sense. But the Myer Music Bowl wtf is this Carols By Candlelight?
