Live Earth moves South Africa concert
The organizers of Live Earth have moved the South Africa leg of the show to a new venue in Johannesburg. The move is a bid to encourage ticket sales, which have been lagging. The concert was originally planned for a venue in Maropeng, which is 45 minutes outside of the city. It is said that lack of public transportation to the venue was causing a lack of ticket sales. The Johannesburg show is being played by UB40, Joss Stone, and Angelique Kidjo among others.
The Verve, who broke up in 1999 have reunited and have announced some tour dates for this winter.

The tour dates are set for November 2-9 and include two shows in three different cities: Glasgow, London and Blackpool. The tickets for the shows will go on sale July 6th.
