An Olivier-nominated musical dedicated to the historic 1985 Live Aid gig is coming to Birmingham in summer 2027.

Just For One Day – The Live Aid Musical is filled with songs by artists that appeared throughout the concert, including David Bowie, The Who, Bob Dylan, U2, Queen, Madonna, Elton John, Paul McCartney and Diana Ross.

The show, which is currently in the midst of a critically-acclaimed West End run until February, explores the behind-the-scenes story of how Bob Geldof steered one of the most famous nights in music history.

Speaking about the production, 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 production has continued to support the work of The Band Aid Charitable Trust, with £1.5 million raised to date.

Just For One Day – The Live Aid Musical will come to The Alexandra from Tue 22 Jun 2027 – Sat 23 Jul 2027.
