Presenters include Naomi Campbell, Cynthia Erivo, Danai Gurira, and La La Anthony.

As with all things staged by Global Citizen, this year’s festival sets out to raise awareness about extreme poverty around the world and the organization’s aim to eradicate it altogether.

On this occasion, there will be specific focus on ensuring that world leaders deliver on  their obligation to the broader cause.

Suffice to say, the line-up looks incredible!

It’s great to see Janet really back out there in a major way and cool to have Cardi bouncing back post-birth of baby.
