ONE, a campaigning organisation that fights extreme poverty, has launched a campaign to raise awareness of their cause in the week leading up to the G8 summit, and has enlisted the help of musicians and artists from around the world in an exclusive series of performances at the Tate Modern.

Today's (13 June, 2013) electic mix of performers includes: Welsh music legend Tom Jones, Jools Holland, Jake Bugg, Juliet Stevenson, Alison Moyet, Scottish indie-rocker Paolo Nutini, hip-hop and grime artist Tinie Tempah and Jessie J, whose head-shaving feat for Comic Relief earlier this year shows that she ia not one to shy away from a charitable cause.

The show runs from midday until 10pm, including an exclusive film telling the story of protest and protest songs.

Watch ONE's video for agit8 below:

Yesterday's setlist included Paloma Faith, Jamie Cullum and a secret set by Scottish rockers Biffy Clyro.

London fans proved that a little drizzle won't stop them enjoying some good protest music as they huddled around the outdoor stage with umbrellas in order to catch the show.

 If you can't get down to the Tate Modern shows, an album of protest songs will be released as well.
