Live Aid was a benefit concert held on Saturday 13 July 1985,
as well as a music-based fundraising initiative.
The original event was organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure
to raise funds for relief of the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia.
Billed as the "global jukebox", the event was held simultaneously
at Wembley Stadium in London, UK, attended by about
72,000 people and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, US, attended by 89,484 people.
