Congratulations rockers! But why is the International Rock Day celebrated on this date?


To find the reason, it is necessary to move to the same day but from the year 1985, date in which two mega-concerts were held within the framework of the Live AID. This event, held at Wembley Stadium (London) and the John F. Kennedy Stadium (Philadelphia), aimed to highlight the humanitarian crisis that Ethiopia was going through at that time. Bands of the likes of Queen, The Who, Neil Young, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton or Paul McCartney gathered at this mammoth festival. As a result of such an impressive event, it was decided that the International Day of Rock was chosen on July 13.
