Legendary songwriter, musician, producer, innovator and co-founder of the globally celebrated duo Eurythmics, Dave Stewart and songwriter, producer, guitarist, keyboardist, and vocalist Daryl Hall are proud to announce that this year’s annual Peace One Day Celebration digital broadcast will be marked by the world premiere performance of the anthem, “Peace One Day” — in support of non-profit organization Peace One Day. The song will be released exclusively through the Stewart-backed platform SongBits on Friday, September 19.

SongBits, the platform co-founded by Dave Stewart, alongside entrepreneur Russell Sheffield, leverages cutting-edge blockchain technology, and gives fans the opportunity to own a “bit” of their favorite songs and share in the royalties. In the case of “Peace One Day” all the proceeds will go to the nonprofit organization Peace One Day.
The anthemic, poignant guitar-and-piano-led duet is co-written, produced, and performed by Stewart and Hall, and features Australian powerhouse singer Vanessa Amorosi — Dave Stewart’s Eurythmics vocalist — along with guitarist Peter Frampton and the London Community Gospel Choir. The song embodies unity, hope, and humanity’s collective yearning for peace. Stewart and Hall, long-time musical pioneers and collaborators as well as Peace One Day Ambassadors, have joined forces on this historic track and will appear at the Peace One Day virtual concert on September 21 where they will debut the anthem live during this global broadcast on Sunday, September 21, 2025 at 1:00 PM BST at peaceoneday.org.
Peace Day 2025 will be marked by this historic digital broadcast celebration, and will feature several performances and speeches from the likes of Dave Stewart Eurythmics feat. Vanessa Amorosi, Daryl Hall, Emeli Sande, Basement Jaxx, Sir Richard Branson, Jude Law, Dr Bernice King (daughter of Martin Luther King) and founder Jeremy Gilley MBE. The Peace One Day initiative is also supported by the anti-gun-violence organization Artists For Action, whose members include Billie Eilish, Sheryl Crow, Patti Smith, and Nile Rodgers, as well as Stewart and Hall.
Peace One Day Ambassador Dave Stewart shares: “This global stream is a powerful act of unity. At a time of unprecedented global suffering, we must come together — beyond borders, beyond politics, beyond creed — to take a stand for peace. I’m honoured to be part of it. I’m honoured to share this message with Daryl and with millions around the world.”
The release of “Peace One Day” comes at a critical moment. In 2025, more wars are raging than at any time since the Second World War, with over two billion people living in conflict zones. The song will serve as the unifying soundtrack of Peace Day, a day unanimously adopted by the United Nations in 2001 as a global annual day of ceasefire and non-violence.
Since its founding in 1999 by filmmaker Jeremy Gilley MBE, Peace One Day has worked tirelessly to institutionalize and promote September 21 as a day of ceasefire and non-violence, unanimously adopted by the United Nations in 2001. Through major broadcast events, campaigns, and partnerships across education, sport, climate, and business, Peace One Day has inspired millions to participate and helped generate measurable reductions in violence on this date.
The Peace One Day Celebration 2025 digital broadcast is a timely and urgent rallying cry — connecting humanity beyond borders, beyond politics, beyond creed — to inspire awareness and action on the UN International Day of Peace.
Hosted by Laura Whitmore and Jeremy Gilley MBE, the livestream will feature world-class performances and powerful contributions from peacebuilders, activists, and changemakers. Alongside the debut of the “Peace One Day” anthem, the musical line-up includes:

Speaking on The Peace One Day Celebration, founder Jeremy Gilley MBE shares: “Our mission is clear — to raise awareness and manifest action on Peace Day. This is the day where more people think about peace than any other day of the year. It’s also the day we see the largest recorded reduction in violence globally. This live transmission is vital to that impact.
