United in One World Beat
One World Beat is about uniting musicians, bands and people in a network of concerts around the world to make a difference through music. Our goal is to do more than just sing about changing the world - we actually do it.


After four incredible events uniting thousands of musicians and music fans around the world we have decided to give our team a well deserved break. The fifth Global Music Festival will be a special event and we are looking forward to new partnerships and projects. If you have a great idea or concert that you would like to put under the One World Beat flag - contact us, we'll be happy to hear from you. In the meantime a HUGE thanks to all the event organizers, volunteers, partners, bands and artists who have made this great project happen in the past and will join us again in the future.

Global Music Festival - One World Beat 2006
The festival was great and we had people and musicians in 17 countries drumming in unity around the planet. Together they communicated a message of peace and hope: United in One World Beat. Go to the 2006 festival website...
