Get ready, New York!
The Global Citizen Festival is back at Central Park’s Great Lawn on Saturday, September 27, 2025, and this year’s lineup is sensational.
Headlining the night?
None other than The Weeknd and Shakira, two global icons bringing massive energy for an even bigger cause: fighting poverty, protecting the planet, and promoting equality, per Variety.
Also hitting the stage are some of music’s hottest rising stars: Tyla, Ayra Starr, and Mariah the Scientist. Plus, fan-favorite Hugh Jackman returns as host for the 11th year in a row. (Seriously, what can’t this guy do?)
As always, tickets are free, but you’ve gotta earn them! Just hop on the Global Citizen app or website and start taking action: sign petitions, post on socials, watch videos, and email leaders. Every effort enters you into a drawing for tickets.
Want VIP vibes? Paid ticket packages with premium perks are coming soon, so keep your eyes peeled on social media, and your wallet ready.
Expect epic performances, surprise guest appearances, and a crowd full of change-makers. September 27 is going to be unforgettable. Don’t miss your chance to be part of something big and meaningful.
