The Global Citizen Concert Launches in New Zealand

From New York’s Central Park to Auckland’s Town Hall, musicians are uniting to inspire others to make a stand against extreme poverty. The Global Poverty Project recently produced a highly successful concert in New York, and will now launch the Global Citizen Concert in New Zealand on Sunday, 4th August 2013, at the Auckland Town Hall.

The concert will be a unique evening of powerful performances to awaken active citizenship around the issues of extreme poverty and climate change. With bespoke musical collaborations and new song releases inspired by this social movement, the audience are in for an unforgettable experience.

The event is supported by a stellar New Zealand line-up that includes Tiki Taane, Daniel Bedingfield, Anika Moa, Jamie McDell, Seth Haapu, AhoriBuzz, and Maitreya. With more artists to be announced in the coming weeks, this is a not-to-be-missed event.
GlobalCitizen.org is a learning and action tool designed to help people become more effective agents for change by offering a global perspective and helping them keep track of the issues and opportunities they care about. It was initiated by the Global Poverty Project, an organisation dedicated to ending the extreme poverty that affects more than 1.2 billion people.

Tickets to the Global Citizen concert can either be earned or purchased at Globalcitizen.org. By becoming a Global Citizen and earning points online you can win a free double-pass to the Global Citizen Concert. Each fan can simply choose from a variety of cause-related actions to complete on the platform.

There will also be limited early bird tickets available for purchase for $30 until 13 June. There will be a small release of VIP tickets starting at $180, and this includes a catered meal, drinks and the chance to mingle with artists and special guests in an exclusive area at the Auckland Town Hall.

By working with leading NGOs, World Vision, VSA, Childfund, Oxfam, UNICEF, TEAR Fund and the P3 Foundation the event will unite a generation’s call for justice and bring together a community of like-minded people.

Support The Global Citizen Concert and be the change you wish to see in the world.
