Live Aid

Live Aid was a multi-venue rock music concert held on July 13, 1985. The event was organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure in order to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. Billed as the 'global jukebox', the main sites for the event were Wembley Stadium, London (attended by 72,000 people) and JFK Stadium, Philadelphia (attended by about 90,000 people), with some acts performing at other venues such as Sydney and Moscow. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time: an estimated 1.5 billion viewers, across 100 countries, watched the live broadcast. It is estimated that around £150m has been raised for famine relief as a direct result of the concerts.

The concert started at 12:00 GMT (7:00 am, Eastern time) at Wembley Stadium, England. It continued at JFK Stadium, U.S., starting at 13:51 (8:51 am, Eastern time). The UK's Wembley performances ended at 22:00 (5:00 pm, Eastern time). The JFK performances and whole concert in the US ended at 04:05 (11:05 pm, Eastern time).
