For the first time ever, the Global Citizen Festival is coming to India. For the inaugural festival in India, rapper Jay Z has been tapped as the headliner.
The concert will take place November 19 at Mumbai’s MMRDA Grounds-Bandra Kurla Complex. Joining Jay Z at the concert will be Coldplay and Demi Lovato. Coldplay lead singer and friend of Jay Z, Chris Martin, reportedly curated the show.
“With over half a million young Indians taking over 1.8 million actions in support of our campaigns, earning their free tickets for the inaugural Global Citizen India Festival, it is exhilarating to see that the youth of India won’t wait for change,” Global Citizen CEO Hugh Evans said in a statement. “We are thrilled to be launching this 15 year journey to end extreme poverty in India with the support of Coldplay, Jay Z and Demi Lovato and incredible Indian superstars like A.R. Rahman and Farhan Akhtar.”
