Lauryn Hill, Megan Thee Stallion & More To Perform At 2023 Global Citizen Festival

The 2023 Global Citizen Festival will feature headlining performances from Ms. Lauryn Hill and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Megan The Stallion will also hit the stage for the musical showcase. 

The concert takes place at New York City’s Central Park on September 23 and is free to the public. Interested parties can earn tickets to the 2023 Global Citizen Festival by taking action on the Global Citizen app or the Global Citizen website to help end extreme poverty.

“COP27, this year’s G7, the World Bank Spring Meetings, and the Paris climate finance summit all failed to deliver tangible results, or disruption of the world’s unjust system,” Global Citizen Co-Founder/ CEO Hugh Evans stated. “If we want to see breakthroughs on development and climate change, we need the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and all G7 nations to meet the urgency of the hour. Every single citizen has a vital role to play, and together, we must be laser-focused on driving results and impact in September.”
