The final edition of the ZEvent, a massive charitable streaming marathon that has raised millions of euros for various associations, will take place from Friday, September 4 at 6 PM to Sunday, September 6. Organized by French streamer Adrien Nougaret, known as "Zerator," and his associate Alexandre Dachary, known as "Dach," the event has become a major annual event in the online streaming community. Over the years, it has consistently broken its own fundraising records, thanks to donations from internet users and participation from dozens of streamers across different fields. This final edition promises to be the biggest yet. More than 330 streamers are expected to participate in the last ZEvent, with over 50 hours of live streaming planned, according to the event's official website. Many well-known streamers, such as Domingo, Antoine Daniel, Angle Droit, and others, will be present, along with many newcomers. Some streamers have already set "donation goals," which are specific amounts that, when reached, trigger special animations or content to thank donors for their generosity. Over the course of its nine previous editions, the ZEvent has raised more than 55 million euros, breaking its own fundraising record each year. In 2025 alone, the event raised 16 million euros. The organizers have decided to end the event now, stating that they prefer to conclude it at its peak rather than let it gradually lose relevance. The funds raised will be distributed among 23 different associations, including the Pasteur Institute, Action against Hunger, WWF, and the French Red Cross, through the Foundation de France. Donors can deduct 66% of their contributions from their income tax, and each donor will receive an email from the Foundation de France to obtain their tax receipt. According to Le Monde, the beneficiary associations themselves cover about 80% of the event's budget, which is initially funded by the Foundation de France. This helps prevent smaller organizations from incurring high costs before receiving donations. Aurélie Dumont, director of fundraising at Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), explains that it is common for associations to make such investments when organizing fundraising events. The final ZEvent will follow the tradition set since 2021 with a concert the day before the marathon begins. This year, the concert will take place on Thursday, September 3 at 8 PM at the Sud de France Arena in Pérols (Hérault), near Montpellier. The organizers have planned a larger venue than in previous years and have invited internationally known artists. Gims, the top-selling artist in 2025, will headline the event, along with rapper Gazo and Bigflo et Oli. The Curieux Orchestra will also return for the second consecutive year, accompanied by streamers Marianne (LittleBigWhale) and PV Nova. The event will also feature Lorien Testard, the composer of the soundtrack for the successful French video game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, released in 2025. This concert has become one of the most expensive parts of the ZEvent. Last year, the performance at the Zénith de Montpellier accounted for 25% to 30% of the event’s total budget, which itself ranged between 600,000 and 1 million euros, according to Nicolas Di Martino, president of ZQSD Productions, the co-organizing company.
