The advocacy organization's annual event — whose goal is to end extreme poverty around the world, protect the planet and demand equity — also has icons joining in on this year's festival.

Dr. Jane Goodall, who celebrated her 90th birthday in April, will make an appearance, as well as Coldplay frontman Chris Martin.

This year's Global Citizen Festival is taking an extra step in sustainability. According to a press release, the Central Park stage "will be completely powered by the same SmartGrid battery system," which was used during Coldplay's Music of the Spheres world tour.

This will be one of the first major festivals to move away from using diesel generators.

To kick off Climate Week, Global Citizen will be hosting a beach clean-up on Sept. 21 in partnership with Jamaica Bay Rockaway Parks Conservancy.
