Live Aid, one of the most iconic charity events in history, took place on July 13, 1985. The event was organized to raise funds for famine relief in Ethiopia. It was a dual-venue concert broadcast live to over 1.9 billion viewers across 140 countries, making it one of the largest ever television broadcasts at that time.

The concerts were held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, England, and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, United States. An array of top-tier artists performed, including Queen, David Bowie, Elton John, and Madonna, among others. Their performances captivated audiences worldwide and inspired an outpouring of generosity from people around the globe.

Live Aid not only raised a significant amount of money but also raised awareness about global issues like poverty and famine. It demonstrated the power of music as a unifying force and set a new standard for future charity events. The success of Live Aid has been celebrated for its impact on both the entertainment industry and humanitarian efforts, proving that when people come together, they can make a real difference in the world.
