About this event

In this exhibition, more than seventy photographs and images have been carefully curated from the Band Aid Trust Archive, generously donated to the National Library of Ireland (NLI) in 2017.

Through a series of striking displays, the exhibition brings audiences on a visual journey of the Live Aid concerts, capturing the behind-the-scenes preparations, atmosphere and iconic performances by bands and artists on both sides of the Atlantic as the day unfolded.

From Status Quo, U2 and David Bowie in London, to Black Sabbath and Run DMC in Philadelphia Live Aid at the National Library of Ireland immerses visitors in the scale and spirit of this iconic event from the intimacy of the National Photographic Archive.

This free exhibition opens to the public daily (10.00am – 4.00pm)

Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
