Turkey’s first sustainable music festival, Festtogether, which was organized for the first time last year, will meet everyone at home this time on Saturday, May 9^th 2020, to meet the needs which have emerged during the Covid-19 pandemic through NeedsMap.

Festtogether took place in 2019 with over 10,000 participants and spectators, raising awareness of sustainability and the entertainment industry.

Festtogether AtHome, supported by UNDP Turkey, will be broadcasted live on YouTube Turkey and NetD music YouTube Channel on Saturday, May 9^th 2020, just when we need global solidarity and collective action, more than ever. There will be many concerts and conversations by celebrities all day long. Festtogether aims to reach supporters by using the healing and unifying power of music.
