Show Up for Humanity is a positive, celebratory event focused on music and bringing people together around one shared goal: more humanity in our society.  

Our mission is to inspire meaningful action by amplifying voices that advocate for a more just and sustainable world. We want to show up for a world where everyone gets a fair chance, where every person matters. It’s a simple idea. Because it should be.

The state of our world in 2025 is deeply worrying. Human rights are under attack. Climate change accelerates. Authoritarianism grows.  And change is happening too slowly — or not at all. Many people are starting to feel powerless. Some even fatalistic. Worried Citizens is a citizens collective with a clear goal: turn worry into action. We see so many people who want to do good but don’t know how.

This is not the time to sit still and remain silent. This is the time to unite and stir up action. We believe that when people gather, not just to protest but to dance, listen, and feel together, we can spark empathy, solidarity and humanity. And from there, change becomes possible. We also believe that the intertwining of music and global thought leaders will make this event more than just a festival.

All public, media and political attention Show Up For Humanity will receive, will be guided towards the causes that need way more attention than they currently get.

At this moment in time we see a clear momentum: the crucial climate conference COP30 in Belém, Brazil. Ten years after the Paris Agreement, meaningful action is still missing.

With only five years left to halve emissions, and the 1.5°C limit already breached, urgent action is needed — action rooted in empathy for people, animals and nature. Climate justice begins with recognising inequality, and responding with compassion.

First and foremost, by showing up. Be there, bring your neighbours, parents and friends. Sharing is caring: spread the word. But there’s much more you can help us with. Organizing an event like ours in a top-notch and safe way needs a lot of hands and resources. Discover all ways you can support right here.
