Just For One day

"We can be heroes, just for one day” - Heroes by David Bowie & Brian Eno

Relive the day music brought the world together.

Featuring the songs of Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Who, U2, Queen, The Police, Elton John, Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, The Cars, Status Quo, Sade, The Boomtown Rats, Diana Ross, Ultravox and more ... this is the story of Live Aid and the people united by it.

Political unrest, social revolution, boom and bust. In a decade of neon and noise, one moment made the world stand still and brought 1.5 billion people together – and they all have a story to tell about "the day rock ‘n’ roll changed the world."

Direct from a sell-out, smash-hit run at London’s Old Vic, a cast of 26 star in Just For One Day, a new musical written by John O’Farrell (Mrs Doubtfire, Something Rotten) and directed by Luke Sheppard (& Juliet).

Just For One Day is produced by permission of The Band Aid Charitable Trust.

10% from the sale of all tickets will be donated directly to The Band Aid Charitable Trust.
