Live 8 Coming to Philly!!

The 20th anniversary of Live Aid will be on July 13. 11 days before the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the Ben Franklin Parkway will host a huge concert that will put Philly on the map once again. Since the Welcome to America celebration will include an Elton John concert on July 4, Philly had already been making preparations. Throughout the holiday festivities the parkway is filled with events. This is just another. But is it?

Here are the Acts that will be making it to Philly. New York, DC and Boston eat your hearts out:

Will Smith (host), Bon Jovi, Maroon 5, P Diddy, Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, The Dave Matthews Band, Sarah McLachlan, Rob Thomas, K eith Urban, 50 Cent, Kaiser Chiefs

Um... yeah I'd rather see The Killers, Muse and Snow Patrol. But what can you do?
