Just received this from 46664:

Annie Lennox and Peter Gabriel are the latest world artists to answer former president Nelson Mandela’s call across the globe for more to be done to fight HIV/AIDS and send a message to the forthcoming G8 Gleneagles gathering.
Lennox and Gabriel today announced they will join Mandela in his journey to the Arctic Circle next month where Mr. Mandela’s latest campaigning will take the form of 46664 Arctic, a truly global music concert featuring a host of artists from both hemispheres which takes place in Troms, Norway on Saturday June 11.
The two artists add their support to that of already committed artists such as Queen’s Brian May, legendary Led Zeppelin front man Robert Plant performing with his new band Strange Sensation, UK band-of-the-moment Razorlight, Italy’s Zucchero, Ireland’s Sharon Corr alongside more than a dozen African and Scandinavian artists.
It will be the first concert on such a scale to take place in the Nordic region and has been deliberately sited to provide a platform for Mandela’s 46664 cause to deliver a message to the youth of the northern hemisphere that the HIV/AIDS threat now exists on their doorstep, particularly in the former Soviet Republic on Norway’s border where millions of lives are already affected.
The timing of the Arctic event – coming three weeks ahead of the G8 summit, will also offer Mr. Mandela a window to address the gathered crowd with a message specifically aimed at the leaders who will gather under Britain’s Prime Minister Tony Blair for G8 Gleneagles in Scotland 6-8 July which will focus on the challenges Africa faces, telling them that far more needs to be done to fight HIV/AIDS and the poverty which lies at the heart of it.
