The Global Citizen
Festival India will leverage the voices of Global Citizens to influence world
leaders and decision makers to enact policy changes and commit significant
resources to help solve some of the world’s biggest challenges. The inaugural
Festival will be held in Mumbai on 19 November 2016, and will
be headlined by Coldplay, Jay Z, Aamir Khan, A.R. Rahman, Ranveer Singh,
Katrina Kaif, Farhan Akhtar, Shraddha Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor, Arijit Singh, Dia
Mirza, Shankar Ehsaan Loy, and Monali Thakur. Several major artists and
international guests will be announced at different stages of the campaign.
Farhan Akhtar said
that taking collective action was vital to achieve the Global Goals and end
extreme poverty: "Global Citizen India is doing something unique. It is
offering us a platform wherein our individual efforts and voices can combine together
to push for collective action. Offering the Global Goals as a roadmap not only
encourages collective action within a country, but also across the world, and
it is this collective, merged action that can truly make a difference."
Eighty percent of the
tickets to the festival will be given out to Global Citizens who earn them by
taking action. For more information about the artists, schedules, and event,
