Peter Gabriel, Annie Lennox Play AIDS Benefit

Peter Gabriel, Annie Lennox, Corinne Bailey Rae and Razorlight are among the artists set to play the 46664 World Aids Day concert -- the fifth since the charity's foundation in 2002, which carries the prison number of former South African President Nelson Mandela -- on December 1, at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, South Africa. Ludacris, Goo Goo Dolls and Jamelia will also perform, as well as South African artists the Parlotones and Cassette, R&B trio Jamali, Johnny Clegg, Arno and Just Jinjer, among many others.

"The 46664 message is one that needs to be heard in every corner of our country, and indeed, the world," a spokesperson for the charity said. "These artists between them reach into every one of our communities -- upholding Mr. Mandela's message that HIV AIDS is not a local issue, but a universal one."

The entire event will be attended by Nelson Mandela and simulcast on the iClips Network. Click here for more information.
