MARTHA GRAHAM CRACKER & FRIENDS IN A LIVE AID TRIBUTE CONCERT

Sunday, July 13 | Union Transfer

On July 13, 1985, two billion people from around the world watched their TVs while artists like Led Zeppelin, Madonna, Queen, and Run-DMC gathered at JFK Stadium in South Philadelphia and Wembley Stadium for a simultaneous trans-continental event that became the most ambitious concert of all time: Live Aid.

Only July 13, 2025, 40 years to the day, Martha Graham Cracker and her many talented friends will gather at Union Transfer to pay tribute to that day, performing songs that were performed at Live Aid. The lineup includes Mr. Johnny Showcase, Shannon Turner, The Finn Vora Band, PJ Brown, Jess Conda, Eliza Hardy Jones, WALLIS, Jess Conda, Reef the Lost Cauze, Brittany Lynn, Joey Sweeney, Beth Kellner, Paula Holloway, Michael Kiley, Chip Chantry, Alden Weaver, Ernest Stuart, Aria Fiorillo, and, of course, the fabulous Martha Graham Cracker Cabaret Band (Victor Fiorillo, Richard Hill, Ned Sonstein, Andrew Nelson), with DJ Robert Drake kicking things off at 6pm with The 1985 Time Warp.

100% of ticket proceeds will go directly to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the charity that recently helped Philly’s own Martha Graham Cracker through her battle with both diseases. This show is made possible by the generous support of presenting sponsor Love Your Block, a Philadelphia real estate company that supports LGBTQ and cancer-related causes, as well as Pat’s King of Steaks, Standard Tap, Johnny Brenda’s, Sandi Foxx Jones, and the Pistola Restaurant Group.

Catch flashbacks all week with Pierre Robert on 93.3 WMMR from 10:30a – 3p
