For every million people who are afraid, one million people are not scared to help. Today, this is our mission, to help the Ukrainian people. TOGETHER, WE ARE ONE!
SAGA Festival, PRO TV, KISS FM and Bucharest City Hall join forces for the largest live charity concert in Romania to help Ukrainians who are in a complicated situation at the moment. The festival took place at National Arena, the biggest stadium in the country.
Romania is actively involved in helping victims. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians have left their homes and are now refugees in our country, and the number is expected to increase.
Romanians were part of the movement and came on Saturday, March 12, to the National Arena, to an event with people for people. Over 8 hours of live show supported by the most beloved Romanian and international artists enchanted the attendees.
Through WE ARE ONE, and at the same time with the power of music, we want to increase the global awareness of the need for the help of Ukrainians. We want to turn this event into a real resource for those in dire need of support in these difficult times. Observing all the events and the whole current situation, I decided, together with the team, that we needed to do something. We took our values into account, and that’s how we created WE ARE ONE. During the 8 hours of the live charity concert, we will be with the Ukrainians, united by music and hope for peace.
