Overview

25 years ago, the "Human Rights Now!" tour made music history: 20 concerts in six weeks across five continents attracted worldwide attention for human rights and democracy. Stars such as Peter Gabriel, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Tracy Chapman and Youssou N'Dour make the tour, which begins on September 2, 1988 at London's Wembley Stadium, a huge success that does not suit the political agenda of all host countries.
