Despite Rain, Cold, Fans Flock to Global Citizen Festival

December 15, 2024 by MARILYN PALMA -TLAHUEL Leave a Comment

This year’s Global Citizen Festival was held on Sept. 28 at Central Park’s Great Lawn. The lineup included Post Malone, Doja Cat, LISA, Rauw Alejandro, Jelly Roll and Benson Boone. Each artist promoted important causes, such as ending extreme poverty, defending the planet, empowering women, and supporting LGBTQ+ rights.

The Global Citizen Festival is an annual event where speakers from around the world promote change toward sustainability, equality and humanity. Fans can win tickets by signing petitions, tweeting and posting videos that raise awareness for these causes.

Doors opened at 2 PM, but fans were expected to arrive earlier to get closer to the stage.

The festival faced harsh conditions, as fans had to wait for long hours in rain and cold temperatures. They persevered and eventually made it to either general admission or VIP section. The concert was exhilarating, with each artist performing three to five songs, some of which included mashups or covers to pay tribute to other artists.

Between each act, activists spoke on various causes aimed at improving the planet, such as poverty, climate change, pollution, deforestation, and rape awareness. Several QR codes were displayed on the big screens to encourage the audience to take a stand and create change.
