The Global Citizen Festival 2022 will officially begin on September 24, 2022. It is a grandiose celebration of music and social change that has the power to bring artists, activists, global leaders, and Global Citizens to necessitate immediate action on the world’s most pressing issues. The Global Citizen Festival stage not only hosts performances by some of the world’s biggest artists, but also provides a forum for political figures, business executives, and humanitarians to make commitments with the goal to end poverty and drive operational and sustainable change.
The ambitious movement will have two events in New York City’s Central Park (presented by Citi and Cisco) and Accra, Ghana’s Black Star Square (presented by Harith General Partners).
