Beyonce and Jay-Z Set to Headline the Global Citizen Festival

They never let me down. Beyonce and Jay-Z have both just been announced as the headliners for this year’s Global Citizen Festival. In addition to working towards the goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030, this year’s fest will celebrate and honor the one and only Nelson Mandela.

On July 18, 2018, Nelson Mandela would have turned 100. To celebrate his life and legacy, Global Citizen is headed to Johannesburg, where Mandela became a global activist who believed in the power of people working together. Follow in his footsteps, join Global Citizen, and #BeTheGeneration to end extreme poverty!
