Frequently Asked Questions

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

Just For One Day – The Live Aid Musical is scheduled at Theatre Royal Nottingham from 20 July to 24 July 2027 as part of its UK and Ireland tour.

Where is the show performed in Nottingham?

In Nottingham, the musical is performed at Theatre Royal, a historic city-centre venue that regularly hosts major touring productions. It is close to public transport and city parking, with plenty of places nearby to eat and drink before or after the show.

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 explores the creative ideas, backstage pressures, and political challenges they face, while celebrating how music brought people together across the world.

How is the story presented on stage?

The show is staged like a concert, with a live band on stage and a young ensemble delivering an Eighties playlist packed with big anthems. It uses a modern-day perspective and flashbacks to connect today’s audience with Live Aid, blending humour, nostalgia, and emotional scenes about ordinary people trying to do something extraordinary.

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

The London production has received strong reviews from major theatre critics for its high-energy staging and emotional impact. It has also been recognised with an Olivier Award nomination for its musical contribution, and the cast album has received an honorary award linked to the Live Aid anniversary.

What songs are featured in the musical?

The score features songs associated with many of the artists who performed at Live Aid, including Queen, U2, David Bowie, Elton John, The Police, The Who, Bob Dylan, Madonna, Paul McCartney, and Diana Ross. These well-known tracks are rearranged for the stage and placed at key moments in the story, so familiar songs gain fresh meaning.

How long does the performance last?

The performance runs for around two and a half hours including an interval, similar to other large-scale touring musicals. This gives enough time to cover the full story of Live Aid’s creation and include a wide range of iconic songs.

Is the show suitable for children and families?

The musical includes loud rock-style music, concert lighting, crowd scenes, and themes such as famine, politics, and global charity, so it is generally recommended for teenagers and older children. Families who enjoy live music and real-life stories usually find it powerful and inspiring, but very young children may find the volume and subject matter intense.

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

To find cheaper tickets, start by checking weekday performances and any matinees, as these are often priced lower than Friday and Saturday evenings. You can also sign up for Theatre Royal Nottingham memberships or mailing lists, as well as major ticket sites, to hear about presales, discount codes, and early bird offers.

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

Many theatres now offer rush tickets or day seats, where a limited number of same-day tickets are released at reduced prices through apps or at the box office. For Nottingham dates, it is worth checking closer to the time whether Theatre Royal is running rush schemes or last-minute discounts, and being ready to book early in the day or visit the box office 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 a good view of the action and strong sound for the big musical numbers. If your main aim is to enjoy the music and atmosphere rather than sit close to the front, these areas can offer very good value.

Do group or family bookings offer discounts?

Group bookings often unlock lower prices per ticket when you buy a block of seats, which is ideal for schools, clubs, or large family trips. It is a good idea to check Theatre Royal Nottingham’s group booking information or contact the box office to ask about minimum group sizes, eligible performances, and any extra benefits such as reserved seating areas.
