Big-name artists on Central Park’s Great Lawn, with a chance to win free tickets: that’s Global Citizen Festival. You can’t simply turn up without a ticket, though.
What to expect
The festival combines concerts with campaigning against extreme poverty. Between performances, the program also focuses on social issues and commitments from political and business leaders.
The lineup changes every year. Past performers here have included Shakira, Cardi B, and Tyla.
To enter the free ticket draws, you earn points through actions on the Global Citizen platform, such as petitions or learning activities. Taking part doesn’t guarantee a ticket. Paid ticket options are also available.
Good to know
- Use the entrance assigned to your ticket.
- Bag restrictions are strict: backpacks, chairs, and blankets aren’t allowed.
