Global Citizen Returns To Central Park In September

Global Citizen returns to Central Park’s Great Lawn on Sept. 27, with Live Nation partnering in production and Diversified Production Services (DPS) producing the event. Fans can attend the event with free tickets, with the organization calling on world leaders to drive action on issues including: protecting the Amazon rainforest, ensuring children across the globe have education access and upscaling renewables across Africa.

“As our world faces rising temperatures, growing inequality and deepening uncertainty, this year’s Global Citizen Festival is an opportunity to push for real, lasting change,” Katie Hill, Chief Music & Entertainment Officer at Global Citizen, said in a statement. “We’re excited to unite 60,000 global citizens on the Great Lawn of Central Park – together with some of the world’s biggest artists and advocates – to demand action. See you on Sept. 27!”

The full festival lineup will be announced in the coming months, and fans can earn tickets by taking action via the Global Citizen app or at globalcitizen.org.

Global Citizen is also partnering with Colassal this year to find America’s Next Top Hitmaker. Musicians, bands and groups across the United States will have the opportunity to compete for a chance to perform on stage during the event.

Over the past 10 years, Global Citizen has helped deploy $41 billion in commitments impacting more than 1.15 billion lives. The organization was founded in 2008 and operates from New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Melbourne, Toronto, Johannesburg, Lagos and more.
