Peace One Day at 25: Dave Stewart Set to Join Global Peace Day Broadcast On Monday 21st September 2026

Since its inception, Peace One Day has worked tirelessly to raise awareness of Peace Day and encourage individuals, communities, governments and organisations around the world to take part. This year's anniversary broadcast promises to be one of the most ambitious yet, bringing together world leaders, educators, campaigners, artists and young people from every continent in a truly global celebration of peace.

Among those confirmed to participate in the 2026 broadcast is Dave Stewart, the Eurythmics co-founder, songwriter, producer and longstanding Peace One Day Ambassador. Dave has supported the organisation's mission for many years and has consistently used his platform to promote unity, dialogue and positive change.

The 2026 programme features an impressive range of participants, including United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres, entrepreneur Richard Branson, actor and Peace One Day Ambassador Jude Law, actor Sir Mark Rylance, Commonwealth Secretary-General Patricia Scotland KC, and representatives from educational institutions across New Zealand, India, Singapore, Egypt, Germany, Peru and the United States. Young people and schools remain firmly at the heart of this year's event, reflecting Peace One Day's continued commitment to empowering future generations.

For fans of Dave Stewart, there is particular interest surrounding his appearance. While programme details have not yet been fully revealed, there is every possibility that viewers may hear the powerful Peace One Day Anthem, a project that Dave helped bring to life last year alongside legendary singer-songwriter Daryl Hall.

The anthem was released through the innovative SongBits platform and invited music fans from around the world to become part of the project through small donations and shared ownership. The recording featured an impressive line-up of musicians and vocalists, including Peter Frampton, Vanessa Amorosi, Jesse Samler and the London Community Gospel Choir, all united by a message of hope and peace.

The song quickly became one of the standout musical moments of Peace Day celebrations in 2025, and many supporters will be hoping for another airing as the organisation marks its quarter-century anniversary. Given Dave Stewart's prominent role in both the anthem's creation and the Peace One Day movement itself, its inclusion in the broadcast would seem especially fitting.

The timing is particularly meaningful. At a time when many parts of the world continue to experience conflict and division, Peace Day serves as an annual reminder of the power of cooperation, understanding and shared humanity. Peace One Day's message remains as relevant today as it was when the campaign first began.

Whether tuning in to hear inspiring speeches, watch contributions from schools around the globe, or enjoy musical performances from artists supporting the cause, viewers can expect a programme focused on optimism, action and the belief that positive change is possible.

As Peace One Day celebrates 25 years since the UN resolution that helped establish this global day of ceasefire and non-violence, Dave Stewart's continued involvement highlights the enduring connection between music and social change. And if the Peace One Day Anthem does make an appearance, it will provide a powerful reminder of how artists can use their creativity to bring people together across borders, cultures and generations.

Tomorrow's broadcast is not just a celebration of the past 25 years. It is also a call to action for the next 25.
