The lineup for the 2026 Global Citizen Festival in New York’s Central Park will feature K-pop superstars TOMORROW X TOGETHER, as well as reunited Fugees bandmates Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, Lenny Kravitz, John Legend, Shaboozey and Lainey Wilson.
The world’s largest movement to end extreme poverty will welcome the acts to the Great Lawn on Sept. 26 for an event hosted by Hugh Jackman and featuring appearances from Rachel Brosnahan and Gayle King, with more names to be announced soon.
The event will find Hill and Jean once again teaming up to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Fugees’ iconic 1996 album The Score. Tickets to the 2026 Global Citizen Festival are free and can be earned by taking action on the Global Citizen app or at globalcitizenfestival.com. There is also a new way to take action and lock down tickets for this year’s event. After completing their action journeys on the Global Citizen app and earning enough points, users can choose between two ways to redeem them, by either entering a free ticket lottery, or making a $25 charitable donation to instantly secure their ticket.
“I believe all of us can do something to make the world a better place, so I’m proud to be performing at the Global Citizen Festival for the first time,” said Wilson in a statement. “It’s a chance to come together and support important work around children’s education, farmers and food security, and access to electricity — and have a whole lot of fun while we’re at it. Can’t wait to see y’all in Central Park!”
