Young Voices, the world’s largest children’s choir, will join forces with Twinkl educational resources and the stage musical Wicked to bring a live global event to the O2 next January.

Wicked Worldwide Singalong Live will see more than 8,000 children performing at the London venue, alongside over 500,000 more joining virtually from schools and homes from across the world, to sing a specially arranged selection of songs from the beloved musical.

All schools are invited to take part in the sing-along for free and are encouraged to access the full learning materials and event information. The sheet music and rehearsal tracks are created by Young Voices and Hal Leonard, supported by classroom resources from Twinkl.

Ben Lewis, CEO of Young Voices, said: “This event marks an incredible milestone for Young Voices – 30 years of inspiring young people through music. As we learnt from 2025’s incredible Bob Marley Worldwide Singalong at the Co-op Arena in Manchester, the Wicked Worldwide Singalong will be more than just a performance; it’s a global celebration of everything we stand for: inclusion, confidence, joy, and connection through song.”

“We’re delighted to be supporting Young Voices with their 30th anniversary worldwide singalong event,” Stuart Parker-Tyreman, Twinkl’s chief education officer, added. “Music has such a powerful role to play in bringing people together, and Twinkl’s ongoing partnership with Young Voices provides a wonderful opportunity for us to help ensure children get to experience the creativity, joy, and shared collective experience of choral singing.”

Wicked Worldwide Singalong Live will take place at 3pm (GMT) at The O2 in London on Thursday 22 January 2026.
