Nigerian Afropop sensation Ayra Starr and South African rising star Tyla have been officially named as performers at the highly anticipated 2025 Global Citizen Festival, set to take place on September 27, 2025, at the iconic Great Lawn in Central Park, New York City.
These two African powerhouses will take the stage alongside international superstars The Weeknd, Shakira, and Mariah the Scientist, in what promises to be a star-studded celebration of music and activism. The event will be hosted by acclaimed actor and humanitarian Hugh Jackman, under the theme “Amplify the Movement.”
Organized by Global Citizen, the annual festival is more than just a music event—it’s a global campaign that harnesses the power of entertainment to raise awareness about poverty, inequality, and climate change. This year’s edition aims to highlight critical issues affecting marginalized communities and promote concrete actions for sustainable development.
For Ayra Starr, best known for her hit singles like Rush and Sability, and Tyla, whose global breakout Water skyrocketed her into the spotlight, this appearance marks a significant milestone in their rapidly growing international careers. Their inclusion in the lineup is a testament to the increasing influence of African music on the global stage.
Over the years, the Global Citizen Festival has featured performances from legends such as Beyoncé, Coldplay, and Stevie Wonder, blending electrifying performances with a strong call for global unity and justice. The 2025 edition is expected to draw thousands of attendees and millions of viewers from around the world, either in person or via livestream.
