global citizen festival: Last News

Jelly Roll is everywhere these days.On Saturday, Sept. 28, the larger than life country star is slated to serve as the musical guest on “Saturday Night Live’s” 50th season premiere.Unbelievably enough, he’s also scheduled to headline at New York City’s Global Citizen Festival earlier that afternoon.The day before, Friday, Sept.

For the second year in a row, rain muddied the festivities at the Global Citizen Festival on the Great Lawn of Central Park on Saturday.But the crowd shook off the showers for the 12th edition of the annual Central Park affair. Despite the gray day, spirits were more sunny than soggy as 60,000 people gathered for a party with a purpose: to fight extreme poverty.As always, this year’s event — hosted by Wolverine himself, Hugh Jackman — was as much about the music as the message.“Central Park is electric tonight,” Jackman said, determined to defy the weather gods that made this another challenge of the elements as he introduced the festival.

Jelly Roll.The crossover country/Hip-Hop headliner just announced he’s added 15 concerts to his North American arena ‘The Beautifully Broken Tour’ with special guests Warren Zeiders, Alexandra Kay, Ernest, Shaboozey and Allie Colleen joining him on select dates.None of the new gigs will take the 39-year-old Grammy nominee to New York or New Jersey; that’s likely because he already booked six huge gigs in the Tri-State.First, Jelly Roll will headline at Albany’s MVP Arena on Sept. 24.

Post Malone is going all in on country music.Starting in September, the Syracuse native and former rapper is slated to take off on his ‘F-1 Trillion Tour’ where he will perform “a collection of country songs” with backing band The Fools For You in support of his upcoming album due out on August 16.Notable New York stops on the 24-concert and festival run include gigs at Syracuse’s Empower FCU Amphitheater on Saturday, Sept. 14, Saratoga Springs’ Broadview Stage on Monday, Sept.

Post Malone, Doja Cat, Jelly Roll and Rauw Alejandro will swing into NYC to headline at the annual Global Citizen Festival, which aims to entertain and end extreme poverty.“X-Men” star Hugh Jackman has been tapped to host the festivities. Jane Goodall and Coldplay frontman/Global Citizen Festival curator Chris Martin are slated to appear as well.“For over a decade, Global Citizen has driven life-saving impact for nearly 1.3 billion people around the world, and we’ll gather once again on September 28 to help end extreme poverty, defend the planet, and demand equity,” Jackman said in a statement.The fest, which is scheduled to take place at Central Park’s iconic Great Lawn, has stated that additional headliners will be announced in the coming weeks.If you want to attend, tickets for the one-day extravaganza are available as soon as today.At the time of publication, Global VIP tickets start at $146 before fees on Vivid Seats.Premium VIP tickets can be found for $181 before fees.All prices listed above are subject to fluctuation.A complete breakdown of all the best prices on tickets for the 2024 Global Citizen Festival can be found below.(Note: The New York Post confirmed all above prices at the publication time.

Global Citizen Festival that the beloved greenspace had to close for the season earlier than anticipated so months-long repairs could get underway.The immediate closure prompted New York City Councilwoman Gale Brewer to call for the annual festival’s relocation after heavy rain, foot traffic and machinery used for staging “destroyed one-third” of the park’s 55-acre Great Lawn.The Central Park Conservancy determined that the damage required the “immediate closure of the lawn” so the grass could be re-seeded, she wrote in a letter to Mayor Eric Adams on Monday. “As a result, 12 acres of public greenspace will be unavailable to New Yorkers until April 2024 or later, all to accommodate a one-day event,” Brewer wrote.

Global Citizen Festival — which traditionally has served as a golden sunset on summer as it gives way to fall — was a rain-soaked slog that turned New York’s Central Park into one giant mud puddle.Indeed, the Great Lawn that had been populated with sun worshippers for the past few months was now a sea of ponchos and rain slickers.“It’s a beautiful day!” joked “Science Guy” Bill Nye early in the spirit-dampening festivities.In fact, it was almost an hour into the main show before the first act, Brazilian sensation Anitta, even took the stage — no doubt to ensure a safe, slip-free performance.The elements didn’t stop the Grammy-nominated singer — wearing a bedazzled bodysuit with the colors of the Brazilian flag emblazoned across its halter top — from twerking, writhing and otherwise booty-popping on the wet stage.One could’ve only hoped that all that grinding and gyrating by Anitta and her hip-shaking squad was some sort of anti-rain dance.But the rain gods were not to be defeated. And neither was the Global Citizen Festival.Indie-pop star Conan Gray brought some glam to the gloom in his red, black and silver sequined jacket — with fringe sleeves for extra flair — while K-pop group Stray Kids demonstrated the global impact of hip-hop in the city that gave birth to it 50 years ago.And the BTS Army showed up in full force for Jung Kook, who got a catsuited-assist from rapper Latto on their No.

Accra, Ghana as its sister city for the 2022 festival in September.This year’s 10th Anniversary of the Global Citizen Festival, taking place on September 24, will not only highlight a full decade of impact working with the world’s top music artists live from the iconic Global Citizen stage on the Great Lawn in Central Park, New York City, but it will feature a simultaneous show live from Accra, Ghana, making the event a truly global experience with some of the most popular artists from around the world. “Ghana is honored to host this year’s edition of the Global Citizen Festival,” said H.E.
