At every Global Citizen festival, amazing music artists grace the stage and treat fans who’ve taken actions to earn their tickets to a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
But other stuff — really important stuff — also happens on that stage. World leaders come to make massive commitments on the issues Global Citizen has been campaigning on. And they’re with our hosts, who take the audience on a journey through the Global Goals, explaining what the issues are that are most critical to ending extreme poverty.
At the 2017 Global Citizen Festival in Central Park, a series of major music artists will take the stage to help audience members and viewers alike on that journey.
Scroll down to see who will be on the stage for this year’s festival.
