2026 Global Citizen Festival in New York City

Overview

The 2026 Global Citizen Festival is scheduled for September 26 at Central Park’s Great Lawn in New York City. Hosted by Hugh Jackman, the event features a musical lineup including Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Lenny Kravitz, John Legend, Lainey Wilson, Shaboozey, and the K-pop group Tomorrow X Together. Hill and Jean are expected to perform a special set celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Fugees’ album, ‘The Score’.

The festival serves as an advocacy platform to combat extreme poverty. Objectives include mobilizing significant funding for child education, nutrition, healthcare, and food security for smallholder farmers, as well as expanding clean energy in the Indo-Pacific region. Specific goals mentioned include providing electricity to 2.5 million homes and supporting 1.5 million smallholder farmers.

Attendance is tied to advocacy; participants can earn free tickets by completing ‘action journeys’ on the Global Citizen app or website to support international development budgets and global issues. A new option has been introduced allowing fans to secure tickets via a $25 charitable donation, which will benefit New York City organizations such as the City Parks Foundation and groups supporting those experiencing homelessness. Other expected attendees include celebrities such as Rachel Brosnahan and Gayle King.
