About Just For One Day - The Live Aid Musical
For one moment in 1985, music united the world. Weren’t there? You can be now…
Experience the “sheer euphoria” (Rolling Stone) of the most epic gig in music history with Just For One Day. Plugging you into the gripping tale behind the legendary, world-changing Live Aid concert, this 5-star, “rip-roaring” (Telegraph) new musical "sends everyone out into the night with a grin on their face" (WhatsOnStage).
Hailed as “joyous and emotionally volcanic” (Daily Mail), this Olivier-nominated new musical features hits by David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Queen, U2, Madonna, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Diana Ross, Sting, and more. Performed by an electrifying cast and live band, these iconic songs have been theatrically re-imagined in a “completely new and delightful way!” (Pete Townshend of The Who).
Come together and discover the fascinating story, relive the unforgettable hits, and be part of Live Aid's 40-year legacy of great music for a great cause. 10% of all ticket sales goes directly to The Band Aid Charitable Trust, with the goal of raising £2,000,000 by the end of 2025!
Now extended until 7 February 2026, this “high-octane” (London Theatre) “rousing rally cry of a musical” (Toronto Star) is from the acclaimed director of & Juliet, The Little Big Things, and Starlight Express.
