Live Aid-Style Concert For Ukraine To Feature The Rolling Stones, U2 And Pink

A massive “Live Aid-style” concert is set to take place at Wembley Stadium in the UK this summer to support Ukraine. The concert will feature some of the biggest names in music, including U2, The Rolling Stones, Pink, The Killers, Sir Paul McCartney, Adele, Florence + The Machine, and Noel Gallagher.

The event is expected to draw a huge crowd and raise significant funds for Ukraine, which has been facing political and economic challenges in recent years. As the war continues to rage in Ukraine, it is crucial that this event not only raise funds for relief but also to keep “hammering home the severity of the situation.”

According to reports, the concert will resemble 1985’s Live Aid, which was organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds and awareness of the famine in Ethiopia. The concert, which is expected to be a major success, is scheduled for June 24, and tickets are expected to sell out quickly.

According to the Bizarre column of The Sun newspaper, Sir Paul McCartney, Adele, Florence and the Machine, and Noel Gallagher could also be invited to perform to demonstrate their support for Ukraine and President Volodymyr Zelensky. Ed Sheeran and Billie Eilish performed at the ITV and Livewire Pictures-produced televised benefit concert “Concert for Ukraine” in March.

The concert conflicts with the quarterfinal match between England and Germany in the Euro 2024 tournament at Wembley Stadium. However, organizers have stated that fans attending both events will not encounter any difficulties.
