Bob Geldof has insisted that a new musical based on the story of Live Aid “is not a tribute thing”.

The musical, titled Just For One Day, will tell the story of the Live Aid concerts in London and Philadelphia on July 13 1985, which were organised by Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for the Ethiopian famine.
