Extra tour dates announced for Live Aid musical

The production features iconic songs from some of the star performers at the famous global music event in 1985 such as Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Who, U2, Queen, Madonna, Sting, Paul McCartney and more. 

40 years after Bob Geldof’s iconic concert, which was broadcast to an estimated 1.5 billion people across the world, the show invites audiences to relive the joy of Live Aid in a “completely new and delightful way!” (Pete Townshend of The Who).

It opened at London’s Shaftesbury Theatre in May last year, after becoming The Old Vic theatre’s fastest-selling musical ever.

Its West End run concluded in February this year and the show will begin its UK and Ireland tour next March, with performances currently planned until October 2027. 

Bob Geldoff previously 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.”

2027 tour dates

There are group rates available (a minimum number of six) for off-peak performances sitting on Bands A-C. 

A percentage of all ticket sales go directly to The Band Aid Charitable Trust, with 1.5 million already raised so far.
