Live Aid – The Definitive 40-Year Story follows Bob Geldof from the £100+ million raised by Live Aid in 1985 to his travels across Africa with Paul Vallely, deciding how best to spend it. They will be talking together about how Live Aid became one of the most powerful movements in music and humanitarian history, the rock stars who took part, and how it inspired a generation to believe that change is possible.

Paul Vallely is an award-winning journalist and author who first met Bob Geldof covering the 1984-85 Ethiopian famine. He advised Geldof on Live Aid, Live 8 and the Commission for Africa, and has written pioneering works on development, ethics and global justice.

Bob Geldof is a musician, activist and humanitarian whose career spans decades as the frontman of The Boomtown Rats and as the driving force behind Band Aid, Live Aid and Live 8. Campaigning on poverty and global justice has earned him international recognition, including an honorary knighthood and multiple humanitarian awards.
