The Global Citizen Festival 2022 season is officially here, with the world’s biggest artists, most influential leaders, and Global Citizens all uniting to empower girls and women, take climate action, break systemic barriers, and lift up activists and advocates.

The ambitious campaign will come to a mind-boggling head on Sept. 24, with twin events in New York City’s Central Park — presented by Citi and Cisco — and Black Star Square in Accra, Ghana, presented by Harith General Partners.

Hosted by actor, producer, author, and Global Citizen Ambassador Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Global Citizen Festival: NYC will see performances from Metallica, Charlie Puth, Jonas Brothers, MÅNESKIN, Mariah Carey, Mickey Guyton, and Rosalía, with special guests Angélique Kidjo and Billy Porter.

Presenters include Amber Ruffin, Andy Cohen, Antoni Porowski, Bill Nye, Chris Redd, Connie Britton, Jay Shetty, Katie Holmes, Misty Copeland, Rachel Brosnahan, Scott Evans, Tamron Hall, and Van Jones.

This year will mark 10 years of festivals, and a decade of impact, in Central Park.

In Ghana, to mark the 65th anniversary of the nation’s independence and the 20th anniversary of the African Union, Global Citizen Festival: Accra will be hosted by award-winning actor, playwright, and activist Danai Gurira and feature live performances from Usher, SZA, Stormzy, Gyakie, Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Uncle Waffles, and TEMS.

Presenters include Berla Mundi, Joselyn Dumas, Michaela Coel, Nomzamo Mbatha, and Sabrina Dhowre Elba.
