Nelson Mandela is planning his next event to raise money and awareness for the HIV/AIDS cause.

Entitled '46664 Arctic,' the event will take place in the Norwegian town of Tromsoe on June 11, the Nelson Mandela Foundation has announced.

Mandela hopes that the event will send a message to the Group of Eight developed nations that the campaign against the virus needs to be in sub-Saharan Africa and the former Soviet Union. The countries' leaders are to meet in Scotland in July.

Bono and Will Smith have been confirmed as appearing at the concert.
