Sing Up Day 2026: Celebrating resilience and the power of singing

Schools and choirs worldwide join Sing Up Day 2026 – celebrating resilience and the power of singing


Sing Up invites schools, choirs and community groups across the globe to take part in Sing Up Day 2026, a free international celebration of singing on

Wednesday 25 March 2026.


Now in its 16th year, Sing Up Day brings together thousands of voices from the UK to China, Australia, Spain, the UAE and more. This year’s event features the uplifting new anthem We get up again by composer Emily Barden, encouraging children to embrace challenges as part of their growth.

Michelle James, Sing Up's CEO says:

“We use Sing Up Day every year to bring the positive energy of singing to schools everywhere. We get up again focuses on resilience, which is so important right now.”

Global participation already underway

Schools and groups have already begun adding their celebrations to the Sing Up Day map, revealing a plethora of singing celebrations across the whole world - from the UK to Austrailia, China to Egypt and much more. With new events added every day, including:


Dunraven Education Trust, UK:

“2 secondaries and 4 primaries will join in song to share their own music and unify by singing the Sing Up tune as a mass choir (c.3700 participants).”

Aston St Mary’s Primary School, UK:

"As a small village school, We are extremely excited that we can join other schools and communities across the world to celebrate the power of song… We can’t wait to perform on the 25th March 2026.”

Nord Anglia International School, Shanghai, China

"All Primary School students singing together at the Performing Arts Centre Theatre"

All participating groups can add their plans to the Sing Up Day Map and submit videos for the Digi-choir - a video featuring clips of performances of the song from around the world, released later in the year.
