Geldof told a conference in the Scottish Parliament that the G8 leaders should not come to Britain as planned in July unless they were willing to deliver their pledges on the issues of debt, trade and aid.
He also suggested it was "disgustingly ironic" that the G8 the original G7 group of leading industrialised nations and Russia were meeting at the luxury Gleneagles Hotel resort, an hour north of Edinburgh.
