Given the current situation, Beluga has joined #ArtistsforUkraine, a fantastic initiative in an attempt to improve the situation and future prospects of millions of Ukrainians.

Artists for Ukraine is an online festival which aims to collect funds for NGOs helping Ukraine.

It is a virtual version of the #LiveAid traditional concert format, powered by Invisible City, an NGO to support fair pay for artists.

Invisible City’s concerts bring the connection with artists performing live to another level of closeness and intimacy. Beluga has partnered with Invisible City as a co-organizer and sponsor, to cover all artist fees and help with communication.

The concert will take place on Sunday, March 20, at 17:00 CET, on Zoom with the audience being able to interact directly with the attendees. It will also be re-streamed on YouTube.

Our purpose of the festival is to collect funds for Ukrainian NGO, as well as help people around our planet to connect and deal with collective frustration from the war through music.

100% of the donations from the audience will go to Ukrainian NGOs, without a single cent spent on commissions.

The donation page is open to get your ticket now. How do you get your ticket?
