Jung Kook of BTS has been making a name for himself ever since his solo debut, and now he’s co-headlining the 2023 Global Citizen Festival.
The 2023 Global Citizen Festival
Only weeks before the 2023 Global Citizen Festival, Jung Kook has been named as a co-headlining artist. He joins the other co-headliners: Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Anitta, Conan Gray, D-Nice, Sofia Carson, and Stray Kids.
According to Thania Garcia at Variety, Jung Kook made a statement about his excitement for the festival.
“I’m so thrilled to join this year’s Global Citizen Festival as a headliner! The festival sheds light on important causes and drives action and I’m happy to take part in it. I can’t wait to perform in front of many people at the Great Lawn in Central Park.”
Garcia at Variety also reported the festival’s importance in Anne Beathe Tvinnereim’s words. Tvinnereim is the Norwegian minister of international development.
“Extreme poverty, hunger and food insecurity threaten lives and health. The call for action is crystal clear: We need to increase investments in climate-robust, small-scale food production. Growth in agriculture is the most efficient way to create jobs, fight poverty and combat hunger. The Global Citizen Festival is important to mobilize more people and more investments in reaching the world’s Common Goals – our Sustainable Development Goals.”
There are still the smallest of windows open to get tickets for the festival. Read about how to earn those tickets here.
