Global Citizen Festival’s Lineup Includes Post Malone, Doja Cat, Jelly Roll
The 2024 Global Citizen Festival will feature performances from Post Malone, Doja Cat, Jelly Roll and Rauw Alejandro, the presenting organization announced Tuesday morning.
This year’s festival will take place on September 28 at New York’s Central Park Great Lawn, with additional performers to be announced soon. Global Citizen is the world’s leading international advocacy organization on a mission to end extreme poverty.
Hugh Jackman will host the fest, with Jane Goodall and festival curator Chris Martin also set to appear.
“The hunger crisis continues to grow, infectious diseases are still spreading, debt is on the rise and last year was the hottest on record,” a release from Global Citizen reads. “Meanwhile, governments everywhere are reducing their contributions to foreign aid, with more than half of G7 countries having proposed cuts this year. 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. This is a critical year for the global community to support frontline organizations, invest in lifesaving solutions and act today, to save tomorrow.”
Global Citizen Festival
Tickets to the Global Citizen fest are free, and may be earned by taking action on the Global Citizen app or at globalcitizenfestival.com to demand change from governments and private sector leaders. Organizers are this year asking citizens to call for action in defeating poverty, defending the planet and demanding equity.
“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,” Doja Cat said in a statement.
“For over a decade, Global Citizen has driven life-saving impact for nearly 1.3 billion people around the world,” Jackman added. “We’ll gather once again on September 28 to help end extreme poverty, defend the planet, and demand equity. I can’t wait to see you all on Central Park’s Great Lawn to collectively call for change on behalf of the world’s most vulnerable communities.”
