Stevie Wonder, Green Day, The Lumineers, The Killers, and The Chainsmokers are set to headline the Sept. 23 Global Citizen Festival, the annual concert in Central Park that blends music and social activism.
The event, now in its sixth New York iteration, will also feature performances by Pharrell Williams, Big Sean, Andra Day, and Alessia Cara, organizers announced Tuesday.
60,000 free tickets to the festival will be given out as rewards to participants in Global Citizen’s initiatives to end extreme poverty worldwide and tackle other social ills.
For the fourth year in a row, the concert in Central Park will be aired live on MSNBC and msnbc.com.
