Post Malone, Doja Cat, Jelly Roll and Rauw Alejandro have been tapped to headline the festival, which will take place on the Central Park Great Lawn on Sept. 28. The festival is an annual event put on by Global Citizen, an advocacy organization with the mission of ending extreme poverty around the globe. In addition to the star-studded lineup of performers, the festival will be hosted by X-Men alum and Global Citizen Ambassador Hugh Jackman, and the day will feature appearances by legendary conservationist Jane Goodall (who recently celebrated her 90th birthday!) as well as Coldplay’s Chris Martin. “As a longtime supporter of Global Citizen and its mission, I am thrilled to be returning as host of the Global Citizen Festival this fall,” said Jackman, 55, in a Global Citizen press release. Chris Martin and Hugh Jackman to Co-Chair Global Citizen NOW Tickets to the festival are free, though they must be “earned by taking action” on the Global Citizen app or website — completing tasks like signing petitions or contacting lawmakers and private sector leaders, demanding change on environmental issues, global poverty and equitable access to food, healthcare and education. In 2023, over 4.2 million actions were taken across Global Citizen campaigns, according to the organization. “The hunger crisis continues to grow, infectious diseases are still spreading, debt is on the rise, and last year was the hottest on record,” said the press release. “Despite the emerging gap between what the world needs and what seems politically possible, the plight of the world’s most vulnerable communities is more urgent than ever."

The release continued: “This is a critical year for the global community to support frontline organizations, invest in lifesaving solutions, and act today, to save tomorrow. The 2024 Global Citizen Festival takes aim at these major issues perpetuating extreme poverty around the world.” Last year’s similarly distinguished NYC lineup included live performances from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Lauren Hill, Jungkook of BTS, Megan Thee Stallion and Conan Gray. In December, the organization launched Move Afrika: Rwanda, a global touring circuit, which opened with a sold-out show in Kigali, Rwanda, headlined by rap sensation Kendrick Lamar. “It’s been a few years since I was last on the Global Citizen Festival stage in Paris, and I’m excited to join forces with Global Citizen once again in Central Park this September to drive as much action as we can to make the world a better place,” “Say So” singer Doja Cat said in the press release. “We all have a part we can play to help end extreme poverty and stand up for equity. I’m looking forward to being part of this major evening of positive change.” Close
