The highly anticipated 2023 Global Citizen Festival has unveiled its star-studded roster of performers. The musical festival, set to take place on September 23 on the Great Lawn of New York’s Central Park, will showcase electrifying performances from the likes of Red Hot Chili Peppers, Megan Thee Stallion, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Conan Gray, and Stray Kids.
The eagerly awaited festival, offering free passes through a ticketing system, is rooted in the Global Citizen’s mission to eradicate extreme poverty. Fans can secure tickets by participating in various initiatives through the Global Citizen app. These actions contribute towards the organization’s efforts to elevate the standing of women and girls worldwide, address climate change, and tackle the ongoing global food and malnutrition crisis.
The 2023 campaign highlights the rising numbers of individuals living in extreme poverty, a trend unseen for a generation. According to the festival’s announcement, the focus lies on addressing the significant issues contributing to extreme poverty. The campaign seeks to engage millions of people, using the influence of renowned artists, to demand immediate action from world leaders convening for the United Nations General Assembly in September.
Hugh Evans, the CEO and co-founder of Global Citizen, expressed his thoughts on the lack of significant outcomes from recent global events such as COP27, G7, and the Paris climate finance summit. He emphasized the importance of collective action and the urgent need for world leaders to address global challenges effectively.
The Global Citizen Festival, initiating its worldwide concerts in 2012, has been working tirelessly towards its goal of ending global poverty. The event regularly draws big names from the music industry. Last year, the festival saw performances from Metallica, Mariah Carey, and the Jonas Brothers, amongst others, with a simultaneous event in Ghana’s capital, Accra.
