The promoters of Live 8 will use their share of the profits from the DVDs to help to eradicate poverty and famine.
'It will help us achieve our goal of changing the lives of the extreme poor for the better and making our generation the one that helped end the disgrace of poverty,” Mr Geldof said.
The total cost of the concerts is forecast to be between £20 million and £25 million. Mr Geldof has secured a $5 million (£2.75 million) loan to underwrite the event and raised a further £10 million from sponsors and broadcasters.
Nokia, the mobile phone handset company, has signed a £5 million deal to become a global sponsor, while the BBC has paid about £2 million for the British TV rights.
