Immersive Concerts from Imagine Dragons, Conan Gray, d4vd, Poppy and Alexander Stewart Inspire Social Good Through Gaming as Part of the 2nd Annual Kids Relief Campaign by Comic Relief US and Nickelodeon

NEW YORK, Sept. 13, 2024 -- Starting today, Roblox users can experience songs from Imagine Dragons, Conan Gray, d4vd, Poppy and Alexander Stewart like never before in a first-of-its-kind, immersive music festival, created by Comic Relief US and Wonder Works Studio. Users will play their way through a series of dream-like concert experiences, inspired by artists' lives, music and signature visuals, to collect "good karma" and reinforce the power of helping others.

As part of Comic Relief US' 2nd annual Kids Relief campaign, "Game to Change the World," – launched in partnership with Nickelodeon – the star-studded, weekend-long event taps into the joy and excitement of music and gaming to inspire kids young and old to help make the world a better place. 

Special guest Tony Hale (Sanjay and Craig, Rugrats (2021), Veep, Inside Out 2, Arrested Development), joins the show as a benevolent wizard who guides Roblox users to and from the concert which will be available in the Kids Relief Simulator game. Users can also access the festival through Nickelodeon's SpongeBob Simulator and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Battle Tycoon, which are also part of the Kids Relief Roblox scavenger hunt leading up to the show.

"I've been a huge Roblox fan for a while now, and I'm excited to get in the game and support the Kids Relief community to bring some kindness to the world," said d4vd, 19-year-old genre-bending visionary artist. "Bringing happiness through music and gaming is all of my worlds colliding."

Guided by a soundtrack of new and chart-topping music, users will collect Karma as they run, fly, drive, and bounce their way through fantastical environments, including:

  • Running through the woods and floating past the bucolic mountains and lakes inspired by Alexander Stewart's childhood
  • Speeding toward a mysterious keyhole with Poppy
  • Journeying on a vine of d4vd's signature roses
  • Taking a road trip to Conan Gray's world tour
  • Falling through a dream with Imagine Dragons

Before the concert, attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about three young changemakers from the Nickelodeon Our World community who are making their mark on the world:

  • Arianna, a 9-year-old from California who collects community donations for "celebration crates" and delivers them to food banks so that families can have cake and decorations to celebrate special occasions
  • Michael, a 9-year-old from Texas who founded "Black Boys Meditate" with his brothers to spread calm, confidence and mindfulness to all kids
  • Riley, a 10-year-old from Iowa who runs a Free Library with his family allowing kids to access banned books

"Young people are the catalysts of change in this society. By building a space just for them, we create a dynamic community where they can learn about the journeys and challenges of other young people and join in to help make a difference," said Alison Moore, CEO of Comic Relief US. "This festival isn't just about music. It's a launchpad for their creativity and compassion, sparking a movement where they can unleash their potential, connect with one another, and ignite a wave of positive change that echoes far beyond the virtual world."

Gaming for Good

In support of Kids Relief's mission to raise critical funds for programs that foster youth empowerment, access to education, and economic growth opportunities, top Roblox Content Creators Leah Ashe and MeganPlays will promote Kids Relief and raise funds among their communities during the campaign. d4vd will go live on his Twitch channel to raise funds and bring awareness to the cause.

e.l.f. Cosmetics will add its support to digital fundraising efforts, providing two bundles of their holy grail products as part of a sweepstakes. They also hosted their own live stream fundraiser on their e.l.f. You! channel on Twitch, with resident e.l.f You! makeup artist and gamer-in-chief, Anna Bynum, where donors had the chance to score free e.l.f. Cosmetics fan favorites as a thank you for their support of the campaign. 

There are even more surprises to say thank you to donors of Kids Relief, with Overtime, leading brand for the next generation sports fans, providing two prize packages of their limited-edition SpongeBob merchandise, one for adults and one for kids.
