Pink Floyd will play together at the Live 8 concert in London on July 2, it was confirmed today.

The performance will be their first since a concert at Earls Court in 1981.

"Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world," said David Gilmour, guitarist. "Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if reforming for this concert will help focus attention then it's got to be worthwhile."
