BLACKPINK’s LISA Added to 2024 Global Citizen Festival Lineup

BLACKPINK’s LISA is the newest addition to the 2024 Global Citizen Festival lineup.

The K-pop sensation will make her first solo live set at the festival, joining fellow headliners Post Malone, Doja Cat, Jelly Roll, and Rauw Alejandro.

This announcement comes at a notable time. Recently, LISA clinched her first Billboard Global Excl. U.S. No. 1 with “Rockstar.” The song, teased on TikTok last month, helped LISA set a Guinness World Record by gaining 1 million followers in just over two hours on the platform. This achievement adds to her growing list of records alongside group members Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo.

Katie Hill, senior VP at Global Citizen, expressed excitement about LISA’s participation, stating, “We are thrilled to join forces with LISA for what will be her first ever solo performance at a music festival. LISA is not only an incredible performer, but also a powerful advocate, leveraging her voice and platform to drive action on some of the most urgent challenges our world is facing.”

The festival is set for September 28 at Central Park’s Great Lawn in New York. Hosted by Global Citizen Ambassador Hugh Jackman, the event will also feature appearances from Jane Goodall and Coldplay’s Chris Martin, who serves as the festival curator.

According to a statement, “As world leaders gather in New York for the UN General Assembly, the 2024 Global Citizen Festival will advocate for the equity of all people, calling on governments, philanthropists, and the private sector to ensure the basic needs of the world’s marginalized communities are fulfilled, including immunizations and strong health systems, quality education, and nutritious food.”

Tickets to the festival are free and can be earned by taking action on the Global Citizen app or at globalcitizenfestival.com to defeat poverty, defend the planet, and demand equity.
