From the moment they said it's 12 o'clock in London etc I had goosebumps. I experienced tears and laughter. The story was told so clearly and accurately the music was incredible and magical and brought me back to my teenage years. and The cast performed this so well and the energy they had was just out of this world. Just wow! One of my absolute favourites now. Bob Geldof being in the audience just made it even more special and the money raised. Incredible. Awesome night!

What a fabulous show and it took us back in time. However, what we witnessed in Ethiopia, at the time, a humanitarian crisis Bob and so many others challenged and fought, we surely did not expect it to be even more worldwide as us today. In the words of Michael Jackson, why can't we live together in peace.

Incredible talent right across that stage! It reminds us of a time where people did come together with a common goal. Young, passionate and energetic. I came with two friends and all three of us were blown away.

As someone who didn't experience live aid first hand (too young 🤫) this allowed me to experience what it must have been like whilst to be present during such an amazing concert whilst educating me about how they made it happen behind the scenes. Each artist gave such an individual performance and brought every song to life and the harmonies were incredible. Would watch it again in a heartbeat!

An epic performance with a mind-blowing story that is worth spreading around the globe, rightly so in these uncertain times with leaders who only think of their own benefits. well sung and played! Go and see it, it will change the minds of many, this is a musical that everyone should attend.

Fantastic vocal performances from the whole cast, amazing support from the band - simple sets and no need for special effect gimmicks - the music stood by itself. My 21 year old has downloaded the playlist already - no greater mark of approval.
