Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus and many other artists are part of the new Global Citizen Concert. This virtual concert is set to be co-hosted Dwayne Johnson.
The Global Citizen Fest is back with a new concert amidst this ongoing pandemic. Even though the original concert from mid-April was a successful show, a new virtual concert is on its way. This concert has been titled, Global Goal: United for Our Future – The Concert. This virtual concert aims to combat the disproportionate impact of Coronavirus on marginalised communities and also urge governments across the globe to make future vaccines and test kits available for the underprivileged.
A new Global Citizen concert is on its way
The outbreak of Coronavirus led to many festivals and concerts being cancelled or postponed. But the Global Citizen concert, One World: Together at Home chose to go virtual instead of choosing a new date. After this mid-April show, a new Global Citizen concert is being organised with a brand new goal.
Recently, the lineup for this new show, Global Goal: United for Our Future – The Concert has been revealed. This new virtual show will be hosted by actor Dwayne Johnson. Although this new concert is not a telethon, it is aiming to combat the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 amongst marginalised communities and underprivileged people.
