Benson Boone and RAYE have been added to the already star-studded line-up for the 2024 Global Citizen Festival in New York’s Central Park on September 28th.

Boone and RAYE join the previously announced lineup of artists including Post Malone, Doja Cat, Jelly Roll and Rauw Alejandro. The festival, hosted by Global Citizen Ambassador Hugh Jackman, will also feature special appearances by primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall and Coldplay singer Chris Martin.

Boone in a statement: “Ending extreme poverty is a responsibility we all share. I’m grateful to be involved in Global Citizen’s mission by helping those who are living in extreme poverty. I hope we can all come together to take action and make a real difference in the world.”

As part of its portfolio of environmental sustainability efforts, this year’s event will also become one of the first major U.S. festivals to be powered entirely by hybrid energy. According to a release, the Central Park stage will be powered by the same kind of SmartGrid battery system used to power Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres world tour, including all audio, lighting, video and stage production. Working with Showpower Global B.V. and CES Power, Global Citizen Fest will become one of the first major U.S. festivals to move away from using diesel generators in order to reduce the event’s carbon emissions.

Global Citizen is once again offering fans the opportunity to earn free tickets the the festival by removing trash and marine debris from the shores of Jamaica Bay and documenting the year’s “Dirty Dozen” most commonly found trash items; click here to register and for more information.  Head to the Global Citizen app or on the organization’s site here in an effort to defeat poverty, defend the planet and demand equity.
