The British rock band Pink Floyd will perform in the Live 8 concert, for the first time in more than two decades. The band will play their classical songs, for the first time since 1981.

The group will join Elton John, Madonna, Paul McCartney and Coldplay at the anti-poverty concert in Hyde Park on July 2.

"Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G-8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world," guitarist David Gilmour said.

"It's crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations."

The reunion will be the first time Dave Gilmour, Nick Mason, Richard Wright and Roger Waters have come together since they performed The Wall at Earls Court in 1981.
