History

Historical Context

Before Live Aid’s July 1985 concert, Bill Gordon staged the East Africa Tragedy concert in Melbourne (Jan 27 1985), raising $1 million for the Red Cross, and later organized Australia’s Oz for Africa on July 13, which drew 11,000 fans and contributed about $10 million to famine relief. Jah Wobble’s 2019 Tuned In project echoes that model, using live music to mobilize aid.
