World Concert Day launched during the Covid-19 Pandemic in 2020 to raise funds for the World Health Organization Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund and other causes. For three years it was a global music event, on every April 26th, that supported and fund raised for UNICEF - The United Nations Children´s Emergency Fund, The Breathe Life Campaign, Amazon Watch, Doctors Without Borders, Save The Children, the British National Health Service NHS, the Covid-19 Solidarity Response Fund and many important but small local charities, causes, health services, hospices and community projects.
In 2020, 2021 and 2022 every April 26 was a day for musicians, artists and fans to use music to support causes they care about. During these three years there was an emphasis on Covid-19 and health issues, children´s charities and causes, war victims and local charity projects. Fans shared their favorite artists, artists performed live and promoted their music, gigs and releases, activists campaigned for a cause, fundraisers supported local charities and hospices and people around the world organized concerts and streamed live performance from kitchens, gardens, living rooms and music studios. Events were shared using the hashtag #worldconcertday and thousands of musicians and fans participated each year to support large organizations like UNICEF, Amazon Watch, Save The Children and the British National Health Service and also many small local charities, hospices, projects and community centers.
