Show Info

Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical is inspired by the landmark Live Aid concerts held in 1985, which raised funds and awareness for famine relief. Rather than focusing on a single performer, the musical tells the wider story of the event, the people behind it, and the cultural moment that brought millions together through music.

The show features a score made up of songs associated with the original Live Aid line up, delivered by a cast chosen for their vocal power and live performance skill. It has earned strong audience and critical response since its debut, including recognition with an Olivier nomination.

Beyond the music, the production highlights the lasting impact of Live Aid. A portion of ticket sales supports The Band Aid Charitable Trust, continuing the legacy of giving that defined the original concerts.
