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 tickets will be donated directly to The Band Aid Charitable Trust.

from booking to attending a fabulous event - well managed and a fantastic production many thanks. I loved the reminder email about my upcoming show and a reminder to download my E tickets to my wallet. All in all a brilliant experience thank you
Absolutely fantastic. The cast were amazing!
A look back in time to 13th July 1985 and also the lead up to ‘Just For One Day’ was a fantastic experience. The memories of the time recalled the horrific scenes shared by BBC and Michael Buerk and did jar against us sitting in a London Theatre, paying hundreds of pounds for tickets and enjoying (relatively) care-free life. To salve conscience a portion of the takings are destined for the Band Aid Trust. The show pulled on heartstrings and tears were shed. Parts of the dialogue were clunky and a little contrived, but the cast were superb and the music brilliantly performed. Good to see that Bob Geldof swore as much as he does at Boomtown Rats gigs. We visited on last day so hope a re-run is arranged or maybe nationwide tour. The world doesn’t seem to be a better place so we need our musicians to continue to use their talents to help those less fortunate, maybe more than ever.
