New York, NY (June 18, 2024) — Doja Cat and Post Malone have been announced as the headliners for this year’s Global Citizen Festival, set to take place on September 28 on the Great Lawn in New York City’s Central Park. Joining them on the lineup are Jelly Roll and Rauw Alejandro, promising a star-studded evening of music and advocacy.
The Global Citizen Festival, an annual event organized by the Global Poverty Project, aims to raise awareness and drive action towards ending extreme poverty and promoting equity. This year’s festival will be hosted by actor and Global Citizen ambassador Hugh Jackman. The event will also feature appearances by UN Messenger of Peace Jane Goodall and Global Citizen Festival curator Chris Martin of Coldplay.
In a statement released on Tuesday, Doja Cat expressed her enthusiasm about participating in the festival again. “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,” she said. “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.”
Hugh Jackman also shared his excitement about returning as the host of the festival. “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,” he said. “For over a decade, Global Citizen has driven life-saving impact for nearly 1.3 billion people around the world, and we’ll gather once again on Sept. 28 to help end extreme poverty, defend the planet, and demand equity.”
Jackman added, “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.”
Last year’s festival featured performances by BTS’ Jung Kook, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Conan Gray. This year’s lineup promises to continue the tradition of blending top-tier entertainment with a powerful message of global unity and action.
