Event Details

Join author Clive Young to discuss the wild true story of how Live Aid happened, based on years of research and personal interviews with artists and crew members! Go backstage at the legendary benefit concert that featured Queen, U2, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, Phil Collins, Elton John, Madonna, Bob Dylan, and dozens more. They gave incredible performances, raised $190 million and were watched by nearly 40 percent of the world’s population— but behind the scenes, it almost fell apart multiple times! Discover how they overcame adversity to create one of music’s greatest events.
