Who Founded Live Aid
Live Aid was co-founded by Bob Geldof, an Irish singer and activist, and Midge Ure, a Scottish musician. They created the event in response to the Ethiopian famine crisis of the early 1980s.
How Live Aid Was Organized
The concert took place on July 13, 1985, with major performances at Wembley Stadium in London and JFK Stadium in Philadelphia. Geldof and Ure brought together artists from different genres to maximize public impact and donations.
Impact and Legacy
Live Aid raised millions of dollars for famine relief and influenced future charity concerts. It also increased public awareness of global poverty and inspired long-term aid efforts, as noted by the BBC.
