At which venue did U2 perform during the 1985 Live Aid concert?

U2 performed at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia during the 1985 Live Aid concert. Their set became one of the event's most remembered performances, especially because of Bono's interaction with the crowd during “Bad.”

Live Aid took place on 13 July 1985 as a pair of linked benefit concerts in London and Philadelphia. The event raised money for famine relief in Ethiopia and featured an unusually large roster of major artists.

U2 played at Philadelphia's John F. Kennedy Stadium, while the London concert was held at Wembley Stadium. The two venues are often mixed up because television coverage presented the concerts as one global event.

The performance helped expand U2's international profile. During the extended version of “Bad,” Bono left the stage area and danced with a woman from the audience, turning a planned song into an emotionally improvised moment.
