“Aaaaaay-o”. Freddie MercuryAs part of the 40th anniversary of the Live Aid concert, you can re-live Queen’s historic showpiece for 24 hours on the Queen YouTube Channel, on Sunday, July 13th 2025, from 6.41pm (BST).
It was the biggest musical event the world had seen, the like of which is impossible to imagine will ever be replicated in this or any other lifetime. An audience of almost 2 billion across the globe. It’s estimated that nearly 40 per cent of the worldwide population tuned in.
Of the 16 hours of playing out on over 500 million TV sets, it was Queen’s magical 21-minute set which has come to epitomise Live Aid. And when Freddie Mercury, at the climax of his famous call-and-response “Ay-oh” segment, he struck what would become known as “The Note Heard Around the World”.
Brian May recalls: “Freddie was our secret weapon. He was able to reach out to everybody in that stadium effortlessly, and I think it was really his night”.
“Sunshine and renewed hope!”, Roger Taylor reflects. “The whole day was one of those stand out wonderful days. A great credit to music which can move mountains if it has to! It’s beyond politics and politicians!”
