The Ghana show will be held at Black Star Square in Accra. Artists such as SZA (32), Usher (43), Stormzy (29) and HER (25) will perform there. On the same day Ghana celebrates 60 years of independence. It will also be the 20th anniversary of the African Union.
As always, the Global Citizen Festival is used to draw attention to the grievances in the world. Usually the performers and speakers address the politicians of the United Nations. This year’s festival theme is ‘Take Action Now. For Girls. For the Planet. To End Poverty’.
The nine-hour show will be streamed internationally on both Twitter and YouTube.
