The historic humanitarian concert of 1985, Live Aid, is transferred to the theater as a musical. With Title “Just for One Day” the performance will include songs by Queen, Elton John, Bob Geldof, Paul McCartney and othersand is set to premiere next year at London’s Old Vic.

In a new interview with the BBC, the organizer of Live Aid, Bob Geldofexplained that the show is “based on true accounts from that day” and will be a narrative that will inspire a new generation of rock music fans.

The musical will dramatize the behind-the-scenes events of Live Aid – which was actually two concerts, one at London’s Wembley Arena and another at Philadelphia’s JFK Stadium – and will feature many of the songs performed by the likes of: David Bowie, The Who, U2, The Police, The Pretenders, The Cars, Status Quo, Bryan Adams, Diana Ross and Ultravox.

Geldof will be a character in the musical, and everything will be presented through the eyes of “a guy called Bob who happened to be at the center of it all.”

The musical “Just For One Day” is based on an idea by John O’Farrell and Luke Sheppard, who approached Geldof to take over the production. The Irish singer-songwriter was thrilled with the vision of the musical’s creators.

Like the Live Aid concert, the musical ‘Just for One Day’ will have a humanitarian character, with 10% of the proceeds from ticket sales going to Geldof’s Band Aid Charitable Trust, the organization founded in 1985 by Bob Geldof to famine relief in Ethiopia and emergency relief in areas around the world.
