We loved the show - and remember the event very well. Both of us were teenagers at the time and viewed the concert on tv and events with a big screen in our comunity. The music was great, the show funny and entertaining but also gave us hope and a feeling that we can work together to fix this worlds problems.

Excellent show, music and singers absolutely brilliant with lots of laughs thrown in too. A perfect day of nostalgia which I could watch again and again. Highly recommend.

Step back to 13 July 1985, when the world came together for Live Aid, the concert that changed music forever.

Rock out to timeless anthems from Queen, Bob Dylan, The Police, and Bowie, reimagined in a “completely new and delightful” (Pete Townshend) way.

Watch a powerhouse cast led by Julie Atherton (Mamma Mia) and Craige Els (Doctor Who) bring this iconic global jukebox to life.

Now extended until February 7th, 2026, catch this high-energy musical before it’s too late!

10% of ticket sales go to The Band Aid Charitable Trust, continuing Live Aid’s legacy of great music for a great cause.

On 13 July 1985, a group of talented musicians proved that music can overcome all barriers. In a world plagued with political unrest, 70 musicians managed to bring together 1.9 billion people to celebrate the power of music and raise funds for famine relief in Africa. The concert lasted around 16 hours, and has gone down in history to be the most-watched television special!

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.
