Past Peace One Day Concerts
On 21 September 2002, one year after the adoption of UN GA Resolution 55/282, Peace One Day hosted its first annual celebration at Brixton Academy in London. Since then, the Peace One Day concerts have played an integral role in taking the message of Peace Day to the world. The TV special of the 2008 Royal Albert Hall Concert has been licensed for broadcast in 93 countries to date.
