Jane's Addiction frontman Perry Farrell [ tickets ], Michelle Branch [ tickets ], Damien Rice [ tickets ] and Macy Gray [ tickets ] will join forces with various top Indian performers for a concert to raise money for the fight against the emerging HIV/AIDS crisis in India.

Among the popular Indian musical acts that will perform are Talvin Singh [ tickets ], Nitin Sawhney and Karsh Kale.

The benefit, dubbed One Night for India, takes place on June 8 at UCLA's Pauley Pavilion in Los Angeles. It will be filmed and recorded for television distribution throughout the world, as well as a DVD/CD, according to a press release.

"This is an unprecedented cross-cultural affair designed to showcase the power of the Indian and Western entertainment industries in raising the world's awareness of the AIDS pandemic facing India," Mark Porter, event co-founder and co-chair of One Night Foundation, said in a statement.

Proceeds from the event will be earmarked for The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and the American India Foundation.

According to organizers, ticket prices will range from $25 for single tickets to $500 for VIP packages. Tickets hit the market on Friday (4/30) through Ticketmaster and the event's official website.

India is second only to South Africa in terms of the overall number of people living with AIDS, organizers said. A 2002 report by the World Health Organization predicted that India will have 20 to 25 million AIDS cases by 2010, more than any other country in the world.
