On July 13th, 1985, the world united through music.
After the World Premiere production “blew the roof off the Old Vic” (Baz Bamigboye) in 2024, where it became the fastest-selling musical ever at the Old Vic, the story of Live Aid is now told in a whole new way — at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London’s West End at JUST FOR ONE DAY - The Live Aid Musical.
This exhilarating musical “rocks in all the right ways” (WhatsOnStage), featuring hit songs by David Bowie, Bob Dylan, The Police, The Who, U2, Queen, Madonna, Diana Ross, Elton John, Paul McCartney, and more of the iconic musical artists who made history performing at simultaneous charitable gigs in London and Philadelphia.
Live Aid was the unprecedented music event that brought 1.5 billion people together, and they all have their own story to tell about ‘the day rock ‘n’ roll changed the world’. Whether you saw the event live, watched it on TV, or weren’t even born when it happened, you won’t want to miss this “remarkable” (Daily Mail) and “rip-roaring” (The Telegraph) new musical by John O’Farrell and directed by Luke Sheppard.
A donation of 10% from the sale of all tickets will directly go to The Band Aid Charitable Trust.
