ROCKIN' ALL OVER THE UK AND IRELAND

Geldof's delight as Band Aid musical taking to stage here

- BY HANNAH ROBERTS

BOB Geldof has said he is “delighted” more people will get to see the Live Aid musical when it tours the UK and Ireland in 2027.

Live Aid was a two-venue concert set up by the Dubliner and Ultravox star Midge Ure, and was held on July 13, 1985, to raise money for the famine in Ethiopia.

Decades later, the history-making gigs inspired a jukebox-style musical which premiered at London's The Old Vic in 2024.

Yesterday, Jamie Wilson Productions announced Just For One Day - The Live Aid Musical will visit cities in the UK and Ireland when it heads on tour in 2027.
