Frontman of The Boomtown Rats
Organiser of Band Aid and Live Aid
Humanitarian activist and author

Sir Bob Geldof is an Irish singer-songwriter, activist, and entrepreneur whose five decades at the intersection of music, politics, and humanitarian action have helped shape global policy and public consciousness. As frontman of The Boomtown Rats, Sir Bob scored UK number one hits with Rat Trap and I Don't Like Mondays. In 1984, he co-organised Band Aid and co-wrote Do They Know It's Christmas?, before producing Live Aid in 1985 — broadcast to 1.9 billion people across 150 nations. In 2005, Live 8 placed African debt relief directly on the G8 agenda. He received an honorary KBE in 1986 and, in 2025, Lifetime Achievement Awards from Sky Arts and Rolling Stone. Sir Bob has spent decades working directly with heads of state, multilateral institutions, investors, and NGOs. That experience gives him unique insights into the forces shaping society and leadership today. Bob connects global instability, economic inequality, and information disruption directly to the decisions businesses and governments are navigating right now. For programmes that need substance alongside perspective, Sir Bob Geldof is a speaker who has genuinely moved governments and changed outcomes.

Testimonials

An outstanding speaker. The most powerful messaging I have ever heard.

Paul Seymour

Lloyds of London

Bob received the best marks in the history of our event (higher than Bill Clinton!). The top mark is 5 but people were crossing that out and putting a 6 or even a 10! Great message, great delivery, fully deserved his standing ovation!

Mike Firth

Yorkshire Forward

Bob [Geldof] really did an amazing job of tailoring the talk to this audience and I imagine that's a part of the magic that he delivers every time. As I mentioned, it's really a pleasure when a very intelligent person speaks to an audience as if they're on his level. That's not often the norm and it's refreshing. Also, I could be wrong but it seemed to me that he enjoyed challenging himself to create at least part of this talk without a net and on the fly. It was great to see him create it.
