In 2020, Dutch radio DJ Sander Hogendoorn called radio stations throughout the country to air the song simultaneously to support people affected by the coronavirus outbreak. Stations from other European countries joined him; a total of 183 radio stations across the globe, as well as football stadiums throughout Europe, played a version of You'll Never Walk Alone. Hoogendoorn's station 3FM later held a week-long fundraising campaign named after the song to support the Red Cross during the pandemic, collecting €307.392.- for the charity. During the pandemic, Dutch public stations have regularly aired idents with Gerry and the Pacemakers' version of the song serving as background music.
