Bob Geldof
Sir Bob Geldof helps audiences understand global power, inequality, and leadership through firsthand political and humanitarian experience. A keynote speaker on geopolitical risk and change leadership, he works with governments and global institutions, recognised by Rolling Stone and Sky Arts for lifetime impact.
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.

To book Bob Geldof, email bob.geldof@getapeptalk.com or call PepTalk on +44 20 3835 2929 (UK) or +1 737 888 5112 (US), and one of our speaker agents will contact you within hours to confirm Sir Bob's availability and speaking fee. If you can, please include your budget upfront – it helps us fast-track your request. It’s also helpful to know the date, format (virtual or in-person), location, and about your audience.
No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
