The Global Citizen Festival is an initiative of the Global Poverty Project, an international education and advocacy organization working to catalyze the movement to end extreme poverty. An Australian grown project, The Global Poverty Project creates campaigns with the purpose of increasing the number of people taking action to end extreme poverty, with the vision of a world without extreme poverty, within a generation.
The Global Citizen Festival is an action-rewarded, awareness driven music festival, where fans engage with causes in order to win tickets. The Festival is a live entertainment event where tickets are accessed through points earned by taking action against extreme poverty, such as signing petitions and sharing information, on behalf of the Global Citizen partners. The Global Citizens Tickets initiative will use this same strategy, digital platform and technology to spur music fans and change makers alike to take action to help benefit the world’s poor. This concert is timed to coincide with the UN Summit to raise awareness and leverage government aid.
The 2013 Global Citizen Festival is presented by Cotton On Foundation, with the generous support of Kidnected World, Hewlett-Packard, Pratt Foundation, FedEx, Coca-Cola, The Color Run, and Riot House. The Festival is only possible because of the critical funding from the Sumner M. Redstone Foundation that allowed the Festival to move forward once again. Media partners include Clear Channel, Forbes, and more.
The 2013 Global Citizen Festival will feature Stevie Wonder, Kings of Leon, Alicia Keys and John Mayer.
