PROJ-X was a multi-venue benefit concert held on Saturday 19 June 1999, as well as a music-based fundraising initiative and protest. The original event was organized by Randy Gibson and his late father & mother Arthur & Celeste Morris-Gibson, and co-founded by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of victims of mutant bigotry, to raise awareness, and to protest for mutant rights. This movement started with releasing the successful charity single "X Equals Human" in November 1998. Billed as the "musical protest of the century," PROJ-X was held simultaneously at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, attended by 77,784 people, Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, attended by 64,023 people, and Wembley Stadium in London, attended by about 83,578 people. A related standalone show called PROJ-X: Live in Genosha, was aired a month later on July 10 that same year.
On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative were held in other countries, such as Russia, Mexico, Japan, China, Switzerland, Italy, Brazil, France, Australia, and Germany. It was one of the largest satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated audience of 4.7 billion, in 195 nations, watched the live broadcast, nearly 61 percent of the world population.
PROJ-X was considered a world-changing event and a groundbreaking movement in the mutant rights debate. It brought wider attention to the current mutant crisis, increasing pro-mutant support and a wider push toward granting mutants their rights. News reporters praised Randy Gibson's strategy of marketing and promoting the show, and the safety and security precautions taken to deter violent anti-mutant protests and resistance. Commentators stated that the concert stood as "a testament to those who speak out against things that people are too scared to say" and that the show "exemplified making statements for those who can't state it for themselves".

PROJ-X: Live in Genosha was a benefit concert held on Saturday 18 July 1998, as well as a music-based fundraising initiative and protest. It's a standalone show related to the original PROJ-X held a month prior. PROJ-X: Live in Genosha was held on Genosha with an attendance of over 3,016,578, the largest audience for a concert ever held. The concert was a last-minute addition to the PROJ-X concert series, serving to raise funds for the victims of the attack on Genosha in 1997, provide funding for the reconstruction efforts, and improve the island's economy.
The show had an even bigger satellite link-up and television broadcast; an estimated audience of 6.3 billion, in 225 nations, watched the live broadcast, nearly 80 percent of the world population. It was broadcast live on CNN for a worldwide audience. The show was free for the residents of Genosha who were only encouraged to donate money or food for a local food drive. Attendants outside the nation had to pay for tickets.
PROJ-X: Live in Genosha was an acclaimed success, generating over $412.7 million in donations.
