iHeart Re-Ups With Global Citizen
• For the 12th year, iHeartMedia will join forces with international advocacy organization Global Citizen to serve as the exclusive U.S. audio partner of the Global Citizen Festival from Central Park’s Great Lawn on September 28, broadcasting performances by Post Malone, Doja Cat, LISA, Jelly Roll, Rauw Alejandro and others TBA to millions of listeners on iHeartRadio stations across America and the iHeartRadio app. iHeart has also launched Global Citizen Radio, featuring music from past and present Festival performers, and the latest news and info leading up to the show.
Global Citizen Ambassador Hugh Jackman will host this year’s event, which will also feature appearances by Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace, and Global Citizen Festival Curator, Chris Martin of Coldplay.
Coinciding with the gathering of the UN General Assembly in New York City, 60,000 global citizens will unite on September 28 to call for action on the most urgent issues facing the world, including the hunger crisis, climate change, and the inequity facing women and girls.
“For over a decade iHeart and Global Citizen have partnered to encourage citizens to take action in the movement to end extreme poverty by using their powerful collective voice to advocate for change,” said John Sykes, President of Entertainment Enterprises for iHeartMedia. “iHeart is once again bringing the Global Citizen Festival from Central Park into thousands of communities — both in the U.S. and globally — to ensure that millions of people are inspired to take action.”
For the first time, Premiere Networks will offer the Global Citizen Festival featuring all headline performances to international radio stations — contact affiliates@premierenetworks.com.
