Benee Joins Impact Live
Alongside Guy Sebastian & Sam Weidenhofer
Music has always had the power to do more than entertain.
It helps us process grief, celebrate joy, find hope and connect with one another in ways that words alone often can't. The songs we remember are rarely just soundtracks—they become part of our stories.
That's why we're thrilled to welcome BENEE to the stage at Impact Live.
Known for her distinctive sound, fearless creativity and global success, BENEE represents a new generation of artists using their platform to inspire, challenge and connect people across cultures and communities.
At Impact Live, her performance will form part of a new kind of event—one where music, storytelling and generosity come together to create meaningful real-world impact.
Because great music doesn't just move us.
It moves us to do something.
NB: Impact Live is an ALL AGES event. All 2-day pass holders will receive free access to this event. Additional public tickets will be on-sale through Ticket Master where standard fees and charges will apply. Ticket proceeds from public ticket sales will be donated to the causes mentioned on the night.
One Week To Go!
The conversations that shape tomorrow begin next week.
In just one week, thousands of leaders, innovators, philanthropists, entrepreneurs and changemakers will gather for the Global Impact Summit 2026.
For one day, the people shaping the future of business, technology, generosity and social impact won't just be on stage—they'll be in the room. Sharing ideas, challenging assumptions and asking bigger questions about the kind of future we want to build together.
From global entrepreneurs like Monika Tu, to founders, investors, artists and innovators, Day One is designed to inspire possibility and remind us that extraordinary change often begins with a single conversation.
Whether you're building a business, leading a charity, investing in people or simply wondering how you can make a greater impact, this is where new ideas become new opportunities.
The future doesn't wait.
Neither should you.
