Because, as it happens, the gig is planned for October 8, which also happens to be Yom Kippur – the Jewish Day of Atonement. This of course means that observant Jews will be engaged in a 25-hour period of intensive fasting at roughly the same point that Chris Martin breathlessly proclaims his love for Africa from the stage.
Cape Town Jews, and indeed, believers of all faiths, will be free to attend the Cape Town concert on October 5th, free from the stress of a prior engagement.
