Alicia Keys, Black Eyed Peas, Josh Groban, Def Leppard and Toby Keith have signed to perform at the Live 8 event in Philadelphia.

Hosted by actor-cum-singer Will Smith, the event is already confirmed to feature Bon Jovi, Linkin Park, Destiny's Child, Maroon 5, Stevie Wonder, the Dave Matthews Band, Jay-Z and P Diddy.

Other similar concerts in London, Moscow, Paris, Johannesburg, Tokyo, Berlin, Rome and Toronto will help to raise awareness and popular interest in the unpayable African debts and need for aid for the continent in order to pressure the G8 leaders into action when they meet in Scotland.
