Welcome back to our celebration of music that moves the world. We’ve already taken you through the epic Live Aid concerts in Philadelphia and Wembley, 1985 - a day when rock ’n’ roll proved it could make history. Now, 20 years later, we revisit its powerful successor: Live 8. In 2005, the spirit of Live Aid returned, bigger than ever, uniting legendary acts and fresh voices to call for global change. Today, we’ll relive standout performances from Green Day, Pink Floyd, A-ha, Paul McCartney, Madonna, and many more. It’s the same mission, the same heart — only louder, brighter, and two decades wiser.

This is our special on Live Aid… reborn.
