Ms. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean & Lenny Kravitz Headline Global Citizen Festival 2026

Global Citizen Festival 2026 takes place September 26 on the Great Lawn in New York City’s Central Park featuring performances from Ms. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, Lenny Kravitz, John Legend, Lainey Wilson, Shaboozey and TOMORROW X TOGETHER. Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean will celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Fugees’ seminal album The Score.

The festival will be hosted by longtime Global Citizen Ambassador Hugh Jackman, with appearances from Rachel Brosnahan and Gayle King. Additional artists and special guests will be announced in the coming weeks.

Global Citizen Festival tickets are free and earned by taking action. Attendees complete an action journey through the Global Citizen app and earn points along the way. Once enough points are earned, attendees can enter the free ticket lottery or make a $25 charitable donation to instantly secure a ticket while the limited allocation lasts. The donation option becomes available only after completing the action journey and earning sufficient points.

Funds raised through the $25 donations will go to City Parks Foundation to support its free programming and community engagement initiatives in parks across all five boroughs, as well as to organizations helping people experiencing homelessness across New York City.

Full-price tickets are on sale now.
