The cast of Just For One Day will appear on Britain’s Got Talent ahead of its West End transfer.

Based on the creation of the monumental Live Aid concerts, the jukebox musical features the songs of Bob Dylan, David Bowie, The Who, U2, Queen, The Police, Elton John, Paul McCartney, The Pretenders, The Cars, Status Quo, Paul Weller, Sade, The Boomtown Rats, Bryan Adams, Diana Ross, Ultravox and more.

Craige Els leads the cast, reprising his role of Bob Geldof from the Old Vic world premiere.

A highly anticipated cast recording was announced last week.

It is currently unknown who will appear during the televised live semi-finals, nor which number/s we’ll get to hear. Tune in to ITV this Saturday, 10 May from 7pm, to find out.

In previous weeks we’ve seen performances from the casts of Tina – The Tina Turner Musical and Disney’s Hercules.

If you can’t wait that long, check out the West End cast in action from last week’s press event at Wembley Stadium!
