Frequently Asked Questions

When is Just For One Day – The Live Aid Musical in Oxford?

Just For One Day – The Live Aid Musical is scheduled at New Theatre Oxford from 18 May to 22 May 2027 as part of its UK and Ireland tour.

Where is the show performed in Oxford?

In Oxford, the musical is performed at New Theatre Oxford, the city’s largest live entertainment venue in the centre of town. The theatre is close to public transport links, with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby for a full evening out.

What is Just For One Day – The Live Aid Musical about?

The musical tells the story behind the 1985 Live Aid concerts, following Bob Geldof, Midge Ure, and a mix of real and fictional characters as they work to stage a global fundraising event for famine relief in Ethiopia. It shows the ideas, tensions, and teamwork behind the scenes, while celebrating how music brought people together across continents for a shared cause.

Has Just For One Day – The Live Aid Musical won any awards or special recognition?

The show became the fastest-selling musical in The Old Vic’s history and later transferred to the West End, receiving strong critical praise and an Olivier Award nomination. Its cast album has also been given an honorary award in connection with the 40th anniversary of Live Aid, recognising the way it brings the concert’s music to new audiences.

What songs are featured in the musical?

The score features hits associated with Live Aid artists, including songs by Queen, David Bowie, U2, Elton John, The Who, and many more classic rock and pop acts. These songs are rearranged for the stage and woven into the story, creating the feel of a live 1980s concert with a strong emotional narrative.

How long does the performance last?

The performance is usually around two and a half hours including an interval, similar to other big touring musicals. This gives time for the full story and many musical numbers, so you should plan your journey and any after-show plans around spending a full evening at the theatre.

Is the show suitable for children and families?

The musical includes loud rock-style music, flashing lights, crowd scenes, and themes around famine, politics, and global activism, so it is generally recommended for teenagers and older children. Families who enjoy live music, 1980s nostalgia, and real-life stories often find it exciting and moving, but very young children may find the volume and subject matter intense.

How can I get cheap tickets for Just For One Day in Oxford?

To get cheaper tickets, start by checking weekday performances and any matinees, as these often cost less than Friday and Saturday evenings. Sign up for emails from New Theatre Oxford and big theatre ticket providers so you hear about presales, discount codes, and early bird offers as soon as they are announced.

Are there rush tickets, day seats, or last-minute deals?

Many major venues offer rush tickets or day seats, where a limited number of same-day tickets are released at a lower price through apps or the box office. For Oxford dates, it is worth checking closer to the time whether New Theatre Oxford is running rush schemes or last-minute discounts, and being ready to book early in the day if they are.

Can I save money by choosing different seats?

Yes, seats higher up or further from the stage are usually cheaper while still giving you a good view and great sound for the big musical numbers. If you mainly want to enjoy the music and atmosphere rather than sit close to the front, these areas can offer very good value for money.

Do group or family bookings offer discounts?

Group bookings can unlock lower prices per ticket when you buy a block of seats, which is ideal for schools, clubs, and larger families. It is a good idea to contact the theatre’s group sales team or check the booking information for details of minimum group sizes, available performances, and any extra benefits like priority seating.

Why should I see Just For One Day on tour in Oxford?

Seeing Just For One Day at New Theatre Oxford lets you experience a major, Olivier-nominated musical close to home, without the extra travel and expense of going to London.
