Tsunami Relief Cardiff: How ‘Live Aid II’ was pulled off in weeks

“I knew [Paul] had been involved with Live Aid before because he’d worked at Wembley. And so he said, ‘how about a concert’?” said Rupert.

They had the Millennium Stadium, known today as the Principality Stadium, at their disposal.

But the gig needed to happen fast, while public emotions were still running high and before rugby’s Six Nations tournament began.

They set a date – just over three weeks away – and began frantically trying to make things happen.

A number of Welsh bands and artists quickly signed up, including Katherine Jenkins, Feeder and Goldie Lookin’ Chain (GLC).
