LONDON, June 13 (UPI) -- The Live 8 concert in London's Hyde Park will see the reunion of Pink Floyd's Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Rick Wright.

The four will perform for the first time in more than 20 years at the July 2 concert, designed to raise world awareness of African debt and hunger issues, Billboard reported Monday.

Pink Floyd has not performed live since the 1994 tour in support of its last studio album, "The Division Bell," the report said.

Speculation about a Pink Floyd reunion has been growing in recent months, the report said. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the band's landmark album, "Wish You Were Here."
