Ghana, and as a matter of fact Black Star Square, is where you want to be on Sept. 24. Why? Because Global Citizen Festival: Accra is coming!
The Global Citizen Festival is a celebration of music and social change that brings together artists, activists, world leaders, and Global Citizens to demand urgent change on the world’s biggest issues. As well as the place for performances from some of the world’s biggest artists, the Global Citizen Festival stage provides a platform for world leaders, business leaders, and philanthropists to make commitments in the mission to end extreme poverty and drive real, lasting change.
Touted as the gateway to Africa, we couldn’t be more excited to bring the Global Citizen mission to Ghana this year. Ghana’s 65th anniversary of independence, as well as the 20th anniversary of the African Union, also fall in 2022, offering a greater opportunity for collaboration to move the continent and the world towards equality, development, and zero poverty.
Who’s Performing in Accra?
Are you ready for this epic lineup? Brace yourselves because it’s about to be legendary. Taking to the Black Star Square stage on Sept. 24 will be: Usher, Gyakie, H.E.R., Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Stormzy, SZA, and TEMS.
We’ll be living out our dreams when Usher takes the stage as the headliner. Representing the host country, we have Ghana’s very own Gyakie, Sarkodie, and Stonebwoy ready to blow the roof off. H.E.R. and Stormzy will make a return to the Global Citizen stage, and SZA and TEMS — who recently became the first African female musician to win Best International Act at the BET awards — will also bring the house down this September. All these fantastic artists are getting ready to light up the famous Black Star Square with electrifying performances.
