Madonna is planning a huge Live Aidstyle charity concert in Malawi which will be shown on TV around the world.

The 52-year-old Material Girl singer has called in favours from showbiz friends including U2 frontman Bono to perform at the Walk Out of Poverty gig in September.

A source at her Raising Malawi charity said last night: “Plans are in place to make this the biggest fund-raiser the world has ever seen.”

More than 60,000 fans will get free tickets for the concert at a stadium in Blantyre, poverty-stricken Malawi’s largest city, but TV rights and merchandising will rake in millions.

The source added: “Madonna is throwing everything into it. She knows the bigger the event the more money will be raised.”
