Just For One Day – The Live Aid Musical is heading to the East Midlands next year before embarking on a major UK and Ireland tour.
More than 40 years ago Bob Geldof staged Live Aid, the global music event on July 13, 1985, to success – with concerts in London and Philadelphia broadcast to an estimated audience of 1.5 billion people worldwide.
Now audiences can discover the behind-the-scenes story in JUST FOR ONE DAY – THE LIVE AID MUSICAL.
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.
The show will head out on a major UK and Ireland tour, opening at Curve in Leicester in March 2027, and return to the region with the final show of the tour at Nottingham’s Theatre Royal in July.
The orginal event organiser Bob Geldoff said he was delighted that more of the UK and Ireland will finally get to see this extraordinary and compelling musical, following a run in the West End.
“The reaction the show gets continually surprises and amazes me,” he said.
“It gets standing ovations and people come back time and again, introducing the Live Aid story to new generations.”
JUST FOR ONE DAY – THE LIVE AID MUSICAL will run at Curve from March 31 to April 10, 2027 and at Theatre Royal Nottingham from July 19 – July 24, 2027.
