Peace is the most important issue of our time. Yet history repeatedly shows that it was citizens’ movements that achieved major social progress: the abolition of slavery, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, the fall of the Berlin Wall, and many more.

Music and the arts have the extraordinary power to unite people and move them emotionally. Music knows no religion, skin color, or ideology.

Live Peace was therefore founded – supported by already 10 Nobel Peace Prize Laureates – as a tool to unite and mobilize citizens worldwide through worldwide concerts and art events – on and around every September 21st, the United Nations International Day of Peace.

Our vision is to be the first massive movement for peace – of millions of men, women and children one day standing together for peace on the same day with one uniting simple message: WE WANT PEACE

Alongside these many local events, we also aim to organize major concerts with well-known artists and televised coverage in order to reach and inspire as many people worldwide as possible. Already in 2025, Live Peace included 50 events worldwide, including one major event in France where we reached more than 8,700 people.

Citizens are the sparks that can ignite the fire of peace — by creating a global music and art movement that one day may be broadcast across all continents, with thousands, millions and perhaps eventually billions of people visibly calling for peace together through the strength of their numbers.

To build the first and largest worldwide network of peace concerts and artistic events — and to encourage cities, organizations and sponsors to join — we want to kindly ask you to make your event a Live Peace event or even organize a small event yourself. In these times, we need to stand together.

It’s very simple. 

• Have you already planned a Peace event between 13th and 29th September? Or are you able to organise a small event?
• Then please register your event on our platform at https://www.live-peace.com/would-you-like-to-organise-a-concert-or-artistic-event  
• Add our LOGO to your marketing material (we send it to you)
• And we list you on our website

That‘s it

We would be happy to share our vision and idea with you in a Zoom meeting on the 1st of July at 9 AM or 6 PM CEST 

Or simply send us the details of your event via the form above or via mail to contact@live-peace.com 

We are very much looking forward to getting in touch with you. 

Together we create peace.

Invitations in English, Spanish, and French are available below—please feel free to download and share them widely with your networks.

NATO Peace Counter Summits – Online

As NATO faces its deepest ever crisis, this counter-summit will focus on the impact of the dramatically changing global situation, and the opportunities this presents for change. The decades-long ideological and political relationship between Europe and the USA is changing beyond all recognition. The US pursues brutal unilateral dominance with vassal status for Europe. Europe pursues greater independence based on insane levels of militarism to the point of risking a nuclear war. The situation is unsustainable and dangerous in the extreme

This new situation presents the peace movement with new challenges and new opportunities. Can NATO be dealt a death blow? What will come in its place? Can we overcome the warmongering ideology that is increasingly dominating our societies? How can we build an alternative security framework that meets people’s needs and guarantees real security for all?

This ‘No to War – No to NATO network’ counter-summit will explore these questions, develop an analysis of NATO in the rapidly changing situation, and look at the implications for our movements. Please join us.

Overview

As NATO in Europe faces a crisis, how is this impacting NATO actions and expansion elsewhere in the world? What is the current status of NATO’s bases and military footprint? How are NATO’s bilateral alliances impacting globally?

Overview

This online gathering takes place alongside the NATO Foreign Ministerial Meeting in Helsingborg, Sweden (May 21–22), which is expected to emphasize increased defence spending. Such commitments risk undermining efforts toward peace, social justice, and effective responses to the climate and environmental crisis. There is an urgent need to critically examine NATO’s expanding role, as it increasingly extends its influence beyond the military into areas such as natural resources, technology, finance, and media. This raises concerns about global power imbalances, growing militarization, and the diversion of resources from urgent social and environmental needs. The gathering will bring together diverse perspectives, creating space for critical discussion and constructive alternatives, while fostering intergenerational dialogue and amplifying younger voices.
