Harvey Goldsmith CBE (b. 4 March 1946) was the co–organiser of The Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, London that took place on 2 July 2005 together with Bob Geldof. Harvey Goldsmith is probably the United Kingdom's best known rock promoter and has been instrumental in developing the live touring industry in Europe. From acts as diverse as Pavarotti, Queen, Riverdance, The Who. Madonna, Eric Clapton and the Earls Court spectacular presentations of Carmen and Aida, Harvey has promoted some of the best loved performers and shows in live music. Starting out as a pharmacy student in Brighton, Harvey soon realised that live music was his true calling. His career has spanned four decades and highlights include promoting London's Live Aid concert at Wembley in 1985 and more recently Live8 in London's Hyde Park. Harvey has also presented numerous charity concerts and television specials for the Prince's Trust and more recently his Teenage Cancer shows at the Royal Albert Hall, presented with Roger Daltry, have become an annual fixture in the London social calendar.

Goldsmith is currently in the Channel 4 show "Get Your Act Together with Harvey Goldsmith" in which ailing performers are offered help to hit the big time again. The first show featured Goldsmith trying to mastermind the comeback of Irish popstar Samantha Mumba.
