Live Nation is lending our live music expertise to produce the festival, and will also mobilize our global network of 63 million fans to get as many people as possible involved in the Global Citizen movement. Additionally, Ticketmaster will handle all ticketing for the festival as well as ticketing support for the Global Citizen Tickets program, which gives fans the ability to activate and earn tickets to many different concerts and events throughout the year. 

 

This is an especially exciting partnership because every one of you can become a Global Citizen. With a simple tweet or email you can help tackle humanitarian crises such as poverty, gender inequality, hunger and discrimination and violence against girls and women, as well as improve nutrition, education and health services globally. Every online action also has the potential to help you earn free tickets to the 2016 Global Citizen Festival. The line-up will be announced on 26 July, and it’s a show you won’t want to miss. 

To register as a Global Citizen and for more information on how to participate, visit globalcitizen.org.
