Coldplay and Perry Farrell play for India

On June 8, Los Angeles will play host to 'One Night In India', a concert to raise funds and awareness for the AIDS epidemic in India.

Stars lined up to appear include Michelle Branch, Perry Farrell, Macy Gray, Damien Rice and Nitin Sawhney with remote appearances from Peter Gabriel and Coldplay.

India has the second greatest population of AIDS sufferers after South Africa. The World Health Organisation predict that by the year 2010 there could be as many as 25 million people living with AIDS in India. That would put India in front of South Africa.

'One Night In India' will be recorded so that additional revenue can be generated from DVD sales and television broadcasts around the world.

All money raised will be channelled through The One Night Foundation. The money will be used for supporting HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB initiatives in the region.

The event will take place June 8 at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion.
