Band swap T In The Park for Live Earth

Gogol Bordello are rumoured to be playing with Madonna at Live Earth on Saturday (July 7).

The band have pulled their appearance at T In The Park to play the charity event with a mystery artist.

In a statement a spokesperson for the band explained: “The band have been forced to pull out of T In The Park because some of the members have been invited to guest at Live Earth.

Gogol Bordello apologise to all their Scottish fans and will do everything they can to make it up.”

Although there has been no confirmation who the band will guest with at the climate gig at Wembley Stadium, Madonna is said to be a big fan of the band, and it thought this is the most likely artist the band could guest with on the Live Earth bill.
