From Dave White, About.com

On July 2, 2005, nine simultaneous, free concerts were staged in London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Tokyo, Moscow, Toronto, Johannesburg and Philadelphia. The concerts served as the starting point for The Long Walk To Justice in support of the Make Poverty History and Global Call To Action campaigns and was timed to focus attention on the G8 summit four days later.
