How long was Queen’s performance at Live Aid in 1985?

Queen’s performance at Live Aid in 1985 lasted 21 minutes.

The band played at Wembley Stadium in London on 13 July 1985 during the globally televised charity concert organized to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. Queen’s set ran from 6:41 p.m. to 7:02 p.m. British Summer Time.

Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon performed a tightly arranged set including “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Radio Ga Ga,” “Hammer to Fall,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” and “We Will Rock You.” Mercury’s interaction with the enormous audience became one of the event’s most remembered moments.

The 21-minute figure refers to Queen’s main Wembley set, not the entire event or the band’s later appearances connected with Live Aid. The performance helped renew public attention around Queen after a period when the group’s visibility had been less consistent.
