The Weeknd, Tyla, Ayra Starr, and Mariah the Scientist are joining the Queen of Latin Pop, Shakira, for Global Citizen 2025—a celebration of music and activism taking place on Central Park’s Great Lawn.
Returning ambassador Hugh Jackman will once again serve as the festival’s host.
“I’m honored to headline the incredible Global Citizen Festival in Central Park this September. Music has always been my way of connecting with people and leaving a mark on the world. I can’t wait to perform, unite, and inspire action,” spilled Shakira in a press release.
According to this year’s festival campaign website, Global Citizen is focusing on:
- Providing energy access to 1 million people across Africa
- Ensuring education and football access for 30,000 children around the world in partnership with FIFA
- Mobilizing $200 million to protect 30 million hectares of the Amazon rainforest
- Registering 40,000 New Yorkers to volunteer across the city
Mark your calendars—it’s all going down on Sept. 27!
