🎙️ Show Topic: Live Aid – 40 Years Later: The Day Rock Ruled the World
This Monday, July 7th, 2025 we’re firing up the time machine and turning the dial to July 13th, 1985, the day when rock ‘n’ roll united the world in a single, thunderous heartbeat. That’s right, we’re celebrating the 40th anniversary of Live Aid, one of the most powerful moments in music history.
Live Aid wasn’t just a concert; it was a global call to action. With Bob Geldof and Midge Ure at the helm, two massive stages, Wembley Stadium in London and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia became the epicenters of a worldwide musical movement to fight famine in Ethiopia. Over 1.9 billion viewers across 150 countries watched live as rock royalty took the stage and changed history forever.
We’ll relive the unforgettable moments: Queen’s electrifying set, U2’s breakout performance, David Bowie’s soul-stirring vocals, and the awe of seeing Phil Collins perform on both sides of the Atlantic; on the same day.
From Elton John to The Who, Hall and Oates to Tom Petty, and everyone in between, the music never stopped—and neither did the impact.
📅 Mark your calendars: This episode airs Monday, July 7th, 2025. Plug in your headphones, crank the volume, and get ready to relive the magic of a global rock revolution.
