Festival 2016

The inaugural festival took place on June 5, 2016 at Berlin’s Waldbühne, where participating artists waived their fees to play for a sold-out crowd of 20,000. Conceived as a way to help children displaced by conflict, this project gave us the inspiration and means to continue our peace-building activities year-round. The net proceeds and donations from the concert flowed into international emergency aid projects being carried out by the festival’s charity partner, UNICEF, and by the German non-profit organization ARCHEMED (Doctors for Children in Need e.V.).
