The musical captures one of the most legendary days in musical history. Groove to evergreen rock ‘n’ roll songs that were performed at the 1985 Live Aid by iconic musicians like Queen, Bob Dylan, The Police, and Davie Bowie. A talented cast, including Julie Atherton from Mamma Mia and Craige Els from Doctor Who, will recreate this global jukebox for you.
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!

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.Vaughan
