The Live Aid Musical ‘Just For One Day‘arrives in London West End’s Shaftesbury Theatre on 15th May following a record-breaking, sold-out run at The Old Vic theatre. Then on the 11th July, music and theatre lovers can relive the spirit of one of history’s most iconic gigs, with the release of Just For One Day – The Live Aid Musical (Original Cast Recording).
Tickets and Album Pre-Oder availble HERE
Just for One Day – The Live Aid Musical, now also a fully realised rock album, captures the passion, power, and urgency that made the 1985 response to the famine in Ethiopia a turning point in music history. The album was created with the backing of Sir Bob Geldof and the Band Aid Charitable Trust. More than just a collection of songs, this album is a love letter to the ‘80s – a time of bold anthems, raw emotion, and an unshakable belief in music’s power to change the world. This is not only a reworking of these legendary tracks, it’s a celebration of their lasting impact, recorded in the same spaces as many of the original iconic songs.
A One-Off 40th anniversary performance of Just For One Day also announced for 13th July
On 13 July 2025, Just for One Day will be celebrating the 40th anniversary of Live Aid with a very
special performance at the Shaftesbury Theatre followed by an exclusive after party with
surprise special guest performances at Koko, Camden. There are a limited number of
tickets available to purchase with a generous additional contribution to the Band Aid
Charitable Trust. For more information on this, and all other performances, click HERE
About The Band Aid Charitable Trust
The Band Aid Charitable Trust was set up in 1984. Over the last 40 years it has been operated by the same group of unpaid trustees and with no employees. The Trust’s mandate is the relief of hunger and poverty in Ethiopia and the neighbourhood thereof. It has raised and spent in excess of £140 million.
During its 40-year history it has funded food, medicine, housing, hospitals, surgery, immunisation, bridges, irrigation, water supplies, livestock, schools and much, much more – including bee keeping! In tandem with these charitable projects the Trust has created, nurtured and protected intellectual property to develop regular annual income streams to enable the Trust to continue its activities. Just For One Day is a natural part of that evolution. All of the Trust’s income from the ticket sales of Just For One Day will go directly to these charitable activities.
All of this growing out of a 3 minute 42 second Christmas song!
