The Make Poverty History Rally on 2nd July is the beginning of a massive week of action calling upon the leaders of the G8 countries to make poverty history. We know that thousands of you are planning to be there, and it is incredibly important you are.
We wanted to let you know about another event happening on the eve of the leaders arriving in Scotland and an exclusive offer to say thank you for everything you have done so far to help make poverty history.
'Edinburgh 50,000 - the Final Push' takes place in Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh on 6th July. Doors open at 5pm and the show starts at 7pm. Confirmed performers include Texas, Annie Lennox, Travis, artists from Womad, Snow Patrol, Sugababes, Ronan Keating, McFly, Bob Geldof , Lenny Henry, Peter Kaye, Natasha Bedingfield, The Corrs, Beverley Knight and Jamie Cullen.
It will be the culmination of all the activities since the Make Poverty History Rally and will be the the final mass moment before the eyes of the world turn to those 8 men in that 1 room - one final chance to say 'now is the time, this is the year, YOU can make poverty history.'
