Live Aid concert to be broadcast on radio to mark 40th anniversary
Greatest Hits Radio to air original performances from stars such as Queen and David Bowie in 10-hour show on 13 July
The 10-hour special, hosted by Simon Mayo, will air from noon on 13 July featuring all of the original live performances from the concert, which took place at Wembley Stadium in London to raise money for the Ethiopian famine. The show will include Queen’s acclaimed 21-minute live performance, which has been hailed one of the greatest of all time, thanks to Freddie Mercury’s charismatic stage presence and the band’s ability to connect with the audience in singalongs. The Greatest Hits Radio special will end with the final episode of Live Aid: 40 Years On, which features interviews with Geldof, Midge Ure, Roger Taylor and Brian May of Queen and the promoter Harvey Goldsmith.
