Emily Eavis wants to hold the anti-war gig

LONDON, UK (Radio 1) - The daughter of Glastonbury Festival organiser Michael Eavis is planning to put on a huge anti-war concert in London.

Emily Eavis, who helps organise Glastonbury, told BBC Radio 1 she wants to hold the gig at London's Millennium Dome on 16 March.

Artists like Coldplay and Ms Dynamite expressed their anti-war sentiments at last week's Brit Awards ceremony.
"There's not been an opportunity like this for bands to actually stand up and sing," Miss Eavis told the Radio 1. "A lot of bands I know are actually really, really passionate about it. I think it's more powerful too after that huge successful march - we'll drip feed the government with another little protest."

Travis have agreed to play at the concert and Miss Eavis is confident she can fill the enormous venue. "If we did get the Dome, we could most definitely fill it with the calibre of artists we've been talking to."
