Lagos is one of several cities around the globe earmarked to host the Global Citizen LIVE event. Please, tell us about the initiative and what you hope to achieve?

An array of notable artists are donating their time and talent to make this happen. Some of the confirmed stars include Angélique Kidjo, Burna Boy, Davido, Femi Kuti, Made Kuti and Tiwa Savage, alongside Adam Lambert, Alessia Cara, Andrea Bocelli, Billie Eilish, Black Eyed Peas, BTS, Camila Cabello, Christine and the Queens and Coldplay among many others from locations in Lagos, Rio de Janeiro, New York City, Paris, London, Seoul, Los Angeles, and Sydney.

The health and safety of our audience are a top priority. We’re taking into account all local protocols for COVID-19, including requiring proof of vaccination for attendees, performers, and workers. We have worked with the Lagos State Government to create a limited-capacity event in celebration of Nigerians working on the frontline in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.

Who are the major partners and sponsors of Global Citizen LIVE? How can individuals who wish to support this and other Global Citizen initiatives sign up?
