On February 21, 2025, the solidarity concert "United for Ukraine" will take place in Vienna's Marx Halle, commemorating the third anniversary of the start of the war in Ukraine. The event is aimed primarily at the approximately 100.000 Ukrainian refugees in Austria and supports aid projects run by the organization "Neighbor in Need" in Ukraine. Both Austrian and Ukrainian musicians will be on stage, including Lemo, Esther Graf, Shumei, Zlata Ognevich and Tina Karol. The event will be moderated by Lukas Schweighofer from Austria and Daryna Tregubova from Ukraine.
The concert will be accompanied by the ORF and broadcast on several channels. On February 22, ORF 1 will show highlights of the event, and another broadcast will follow on February 23 on ORF III. The Vienna city broadcaster W24 will also report on the benefit concert. In addition to musical performances, the event is intended to draw attention to the ongoing consequences of the war and the plight of many Ukrainians.
The concert is organized by the association "All for Ukraine - Help for Ukraine" under the direction of Dr. Cornelius Granig. The initiative is supported by the Austrian federal government and numerous companies and organizations, including Strabag, Wien Holding, Vienna Airport and the Federation of Lower Austrian Industries. The ORF emphasizes the importance of the event and sends a signal of solidarity with Ukraine with its reporting.
