The Global Citizen Festival is a free, ticketed concert that brings together musicians, world leaders, and global citizens in an effort to influence positive change on a global scale.
Last year’s festival drew a crowd of 60,000 to Central Park, but the effects of commitments made by world leaders on stage reached over 199 million people worldwide.

Just two weeks ago, Global Citizen held a concert in Hamburg, Germany, and the results were just as impressive. With more than 11,000 Global Citizens in the crowd, Hamburg heard $706 million worth of commitments be made by world leaders and luminaries.
With global citizens like you, we hope to make this year’s 6th annual festival even more successful.
