Frequently Asked Questions

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

Just For One Day – The Live Aid Musical is scheduled at Curve Leicester from 31 March to 10 April 2027, with performances across roughly two weeks.

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

The musical tells the story behind the 1985 Live Aid concerts, showing how Bob Geldof, Midge Ure, and a team of musicians and producers created a global event to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. It follows the build-up to the concert day, the personal and political challenges along the way, and the way music united people around the world.

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

The show has been praised for its sell-out early runs and strong reviews in London, and its cast album has received recognition from the Official Charts Company with a special award reflecting its chart success. Individual critics have highlighted its emotional impact and production values, helping to build its reputation ahead of the UK tour.

Which songs are featured in the musical?

The musical uses famous songs associated with Live Aid artists, including hits by Queen, U2, David Bowie, Madonna, The Who, Elton John, Paul McCartney, and other major rock and pop acts. These songs are performed in the context of the story, so you hear many iconic tracks reimagined for the stage.

How long does the performance last?

The show typically runs for around two and a half hours including an interval, similar to most large-scale West End and touring musicals. It is a full evening out, so plan time for arriving at the venue, collecting tickets if needed, and leaving after the performance.

Is the show suitable for children?

The musical includes loud music, crowd scenes, and references to famine and global politics, so it is generally recommended for older children and teenagers rather than very young audiences. Families should consider the themes and volume level when deciding, but many older kids who enjoy live music and history will find it engaging.

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

To find cheaper tickets, start by checking midweek performances and matinees, as these are often priced lower than Friday and Saturday evenings. Look out for early booking offers, newsletter discounts from Curve Leicester or touring ticket sites, and last-minute deals such as rush or day seats released on the morning of performances.

Are there rush tickets or day seats available?

Many major musicals now offer same-day rush tickets or day seats at reduced prices, sold either through the venue box office or through theatre ticket apps. For Leicester performances, check in advance whether Curve is running day seat queues or app-based rush offers, and be prepared to book quickly or arrive early if they are available.

Can I save money by booking as a group?

Group discounts are often offered when you book a block of tickets, usually for 10 or more people, which can significantly reduce the price per ticket. If you are attending with friends, family, or a club, contact the theatre’s group sales team to ask about specific discounts and payment deadlines.

Is it cheaper to sit higher up or with restricted view?

Yes, seats in the upper levels of the theatre or with a slightly restricted view are usually cheaper, but still give you the full musical experience. If you are mainly interested in the music and atmosphere rather than close-up detail, these seats can be a very good value choice.

What is the best way to get tickets at face value without overpaying?

The best approach is to buy directly from the official venue box office or clearly identified official ticket partners, which sell tickets at standard prices with transparent fees. Avoid resellers unless the show is sold out, and if you do use them, compare prices carefully so you do not pay far above the original value.

Why is this musical special compared to other jukebox shows?

Unlike many jukebox musicals that only tell a fictional story around hit songs, this show dramatizes a real, historic concert that was watched by around 1.5 billion people worldwide. It combines a powerful true story of activism and charity with some of the most famous songs of the 1980s, creating a nostalgic yet emotionally charged night out.
