About the show
On 13 July 1985, music united the world.
​
40 years on, discover the story of Live Aid in a whole new way — in London’s West End at JUST FOR ONE DAY - The Live Aid Musical.
​
The show’s World Premiere production “blew the roof off the Old Vic” (Baz Bamigboye) in early 2024, where it became the theatre’s fastest-selling musical ever.
​
This exhilarating night out “rocks in all the right ways” (WhatsOnStage), with hit songs by Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Who, U2, Queen, Madonna, The Police, Elton John, Paul McCartney, Diana Ross and more of the iconic artists who made history at simultaneous charitable concerts in London and Philadelphia.
​
Live Aid was an unprecedented global music event that brought 1.5 billion people together, and they all have a story to tell about ‘the day rock ‘n’ roll changed the world’. Whether you saw it live, watched it from home or weren’t even born yet, you won’t want to miss this “rip-roaring” (The Telegraph) and “remarkable” (Daily Mail) new musical written by John O’Farrell (Mrs. Doubtfire, Something Rotten!) and directed by Luke Sheppard (& Juliet, The Little Big Things).
​
10% from the sale of all theatre tickets will be donated directly to The Band Aid Charitable Trust.

​
A musical theatre workshop will explore aspects of acting, singing and dance as students learn and stage songs from the show.
