The Global Citizen Festival, an annual music fest that raises money toward ending extreme poverty, returns to Great Lawn in New York's iconic Central Park this September. Upwards of 60,000 people are expected to attend the event, which brings together Global Citizens, artists, activists, world leaders, philanthropists, corporate leaders and more.
The collective mission: end extreme poverty now. Global Citizen Festival provides the difference-makers with a moment to celebrate all that they have achieved for the less fortunate of the world, and to instill among the masses that there's still much more to be done.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin serves as the curator of the festival, so you can be sure the music will be on point. The Weeknd, Shakira, and Tyla headline the star-studded lineup assembled for Global Citizen Festival 2025.
