Global Citizen has unveiled lineups for three of the international settings for its 24-hour “Global Citizen Live” broadcast for Sept. 25. Billie Eilish, Jennifer Lopez and Lizzo are amo…
are among the headliners in New York City’s Central Park; Ed Sheeran, Doja Cat and H.E.R. will be among the toppers in front of Paris’ Eiffel Tower; and Femi Kuti will lead the charge in Lagos, Nigeria.
In Paris, Black Eyed Peas, DJ Snake and Christine and the Queens are among the additional headliners, with Angelique Kidjo as special guest. The Lagos show also sports Davido, Tiwa Savage and Made Kuti. The event in Lagos will have a much smaller audience, and also be pre-recorded, in reflection of the higher COVID rates there. “That’s actually also a function of the size of the venue,” Evans says. “But we did want to do justice to the fact that we needed to highlight the heroic healthcare workers across the continent who are on the frontline, given that Africa has had 6 million COVID cases in the last eight weeks.
The army of producers and executive producers may not have as much name value as the artists, but it’s just as mobilized, to make a six-continent broadcast and webcast come off. “The second focus is on the hunger crisis that’s been exacerbated by COVID-19, because crises like hunger don’t politely wait their turn until COVID is over. We’ve seen 41 million people now across the point of Africa on the brink of starvation. And so we need to get $6 billion raised for the welfare program to fight hunger in Ethiopia, Yemen and Southern Sudan.
