“They are not powerless in the face of human monstrosity”: Greatest Hits Radio to broadcast 10-hour recreation of Live Aid

George Michael, promoter Harvey Goldsmith, Bono, Paul McCartney and Freddie Mercury performing on stage during the finale of Live Aid at Wembley.

It’s been announced that Live Aid is to be broadcast again on the 40th anniversary of the original concert in a few weeks’ time.

UK station Greatest Hits Radio's schedule is being cleared on Sunday 13 July for a 10-hour special which will feature all the performances from the Wembley leg of the concert. The performances will be accompanied by commentary by Martin Kemp, who, of course, performed in the afternoon that day with Spandau Ballet as well as the cast of the Live Aid musical, Just For One Day.
