Following its acclaimed West End run, Just For One Day – The Live Aid Musical will embark on a major UK and Ireland tour, opening at Curve, Leicester in March 2027.
The musical, produced by Jamie Wilson Productions in association with Curve, tells the behind-the-scenes story of Live Aid, the greatest gig in music history. Featuring songs by Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Who, U2, Queen, Madonna, The Police, Elton John, Paul McCartney, and Diana Ross, the show celebrates the iconic 1985 concerts that united the world.
Bob Geldof said:
“Just For One Day brilliantly reimagines why Live Aid worked then and why the humanity of that day still matters now. I’m delighted that more of the UK and Ireland will finally get to see this extraordinary and compelling musical. The reaction the show gets continually surprises and amazes me, standing ovations and people come back time and again, introducing the Live Aid story to new generations.”
The tour will visit Cardiff, Canterbury, Manchester, Oxford, Edinburgh, Plymouth, Sunderland, Birmingham, and Nottingham, with more dates to be announced. The musical will continue to support the Band Aid Charitable Trust, which has raised £1.5 million to date.
Written by John O’Farrell and directed by Luke Sheppard, the creative team includes musical supervision by Matthew Brind, choreography by Ebony Molina, and casting by Stuart Burt CDG.
