History

Historical Context

Bob Geldof and Midge Ure launched Live Aid on 13 July 1985, a dual-venue concert that reached an estimated 1.9 billion viewers and ultimately raised about $127 million for Ethiopian famine relief. That model of satellite-linked, televised benefit shows set the template for later multimedia fundraisers, including Dua Lipa’s 2025 tour livestream and live-album release.
