Olivier-nominated musical that stages the night of the 1985 Live Aid concert, with a percentage of ticket sales going to The Band Aid Charitable Trust.
Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical comes to the Sunderland Empire on Tuesday 8 June and Saturday 12 June 2027. It's an Olivier-nominated show that stages the night of the 1985 Live Aid concert, set forty years on from the gig that re-wrote music history. An ensemble of rockstars performs the songs of Bob Dylan, David Bowie, U2, Queen, Madonna and more, all within the context of that one day when music brought the world together.
The show is built around the people united by the event, set against a decade of neon and noise. It's toured the UK following a West End run, and the reviews have been strong: the Daily Mail called it 'joyous and emotionally volcanic', while Rolling Stone said audiences were left 'in a state of sheer euphoria'.

Beyond the music, there's a charitable side to it: a percentage of all ticket sales goes to The Band Aid Charitable Trust, so your ticket helps the same cause the original concert was built for. Tickets start from £15.60, with the show running on Tuesday 8 June and Saturday 12 June at the Sunderland Empire.
