For a time, The Boomtown Rats were the biggest pop band on the planet. Frontman Bob Geldof then reshaped global music broadcasting with the iconic Live Aid concert in 1985. A year later, the band fractured in their native Dublin. This is the true personal story of the group that changed themselves—and changed Ireland, the UK punk scene, and, through Geldof’s vision, the world. Featuring exclusive access to personal archives and new interviews with the reunited four members (Geldof, Roberts, Briquette, Crowe), plus insights from Bono, Sting, Sinéad O’Connor, Dave Stewart, and more.
