Earth, Wind & Fire musical celebrations

Overview

In September 2026, SiriusXM launched an exclusive pop-up radio channel, Earth, Wind & Fire Radio, to celebrate the band’s 50-year career. The channel was available via the SiriusXM app starting September 1, with vehicle access on channel 51 from September 21 through September 27. Programming featured the group’s hits and reflections from members Philip Bailey, Verdine White, and Ralph Johnson.

Coinciding with this, September 21 was observed as ‘Earth, Wind & Fire Day.’ The date is celebrated annually due to the lyrics of the band’s 1978 hit ‘September.’ The song has seen a 31% increase in streams during the week of September 21 on platforms like TikTok. In Chicago, Mayor Brandon Johnson officially designated the day as ‘Earth, Wind & Fire Day,’ following years of unofficial local commemorations.
