Raising Hope, One Beat at a Time
Rise The Music is not your typical concert, but a collective journey that channels the explosive power of electronic music into a driving force for social and environmental change. Top artists from the European scene perform in extraordinary venues, ranging from medieval castles to breathtaking natural settings, streaming every note live on Twitch and YouTube. Anyone, anywhere in the world, can tune in, interact with the artists in real time, and above all contribute to two vital causes: the fight against poverty led by Rise Against Hunger and the planet’s protection promoted by Music Declares Emergency.
Every donation becomes a tangible act of solidarity and a push toward a more sustainable future. This isn’t just about music; it’s a call to action: the electronic beat envelops centuries-old monuments and pristine landscapes, reminding us of the priceless value of our cultural heritage and the natural world around us. And as geographical barriers crumble under the power of live streaming, a community is formed, united by the desire to make a difference, to donate, and to support those most in need.
Rise The Music shows that music is never “just” entertainment, but a universal language capable of inspiring and bringing people together in the name of a fairer, greener future. Each beat, each view, and each share contributes to fighting hunger and raising awareness of climate change, turning the simple act of listening into a concrete commitment. Join us, let the energy of the music sweep you away, support the projects of those who fight on the front lines every day, and prove that together, we really can change the world, one beat at a time.
Two Crises, One Fight
Poverty and climate change are not separate emergencies. They are two sides of the same injustice. They strike hardest at those with the fewest resources, the least voice, and the fewest means to defend themselves. Together, they fuel a vicious cycle that leaves millions behind. Those living in poverty are more exposed to the effects of climate change. Those affected by climate change are at risk of falling into or returning to poverty. “Rise the Music” was created to address both of these crises with a concrete and collective response. Music becomes a tool for solidarity and awareness, a collective call to action, a refusal to remain indifferent.
Donations will support two specific actions:
Distribution of food kits in Europe, led by Rise Against Hunger, a non-profit organization fighting food waste and food insecurity. Funds will be used to recover surplus food that is still perfectly edible, transform it into complete kits, and distribute them weekly to families in economic and social vulnerability. Each kit provides balanced, dignified meals while simultaneously combating exclusion and waste.
Support for the activities of Music Declares Emergency: Donations will help fund awareness campaigns, content production, public events, and educational initiatives targeting both citizens and institutions. The goal is to promote an urgent and fair ecological transition within the music industry and across society.
Supporting this initiative means standing with those who have no voice. It means acting now for a future that is fairer, more humane, and more sustainable.
Two crises. One fight. One shared response: collective action.

In line with the UN 2030 Agenda, we believe the fight against hunger goes beyond borders and calls for the collaboration of businesses, institutions, and citizens. Join us and discover how even the smallest gesture can spark a profound change for European families: together, we can truly make a difference.

Through the NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET campaign, Music Declares Emergency has shifted the dynamic of climate communications by involving globally impactful voices, from Billie Eilish and Radiohead to the London Symphony Orchestra and Julian Lloyd Webber. Working across the entire music ecosystem, at both grassroots shows and major festivals, he organization brings climate activism into the mainstream.
Building on the success of this message, the NO MUSIC ON A DEAD PLANET campaign establishes and nurtures a people-led community united by a common purpose.
