9Now: Global Citizen Live

Live concert includes Coldplay, Cyndi Lauper, Billie Eilish, Ed Sheeran, Elton, Ricky Martin, Stevie Wonder, Kylie Keith Urban, 5 Seconds of Summer & Delta.

9Now will screen Global Citizen Live the early time of 3.00am AEST Sunday morning, highlighting poverty, climate change and inequality.

This is a 24 hour live stream from Sydney, New York, Paris, Lagos, LA, Rio, Seoul and London.

Performers include Coldplay, Cyndi Lauper, Billie Eilish, Doja Cat, Duran Duran, Ed Sheeran, Elton John, Green Day, Jennifer Lopez, Lorde, Metallica, Ricky Martin and Stevie Wonder, along with Kylie Minogue, Keith Urban, 5 Seconds of Summer,  while Delta Goodrem also performs before the Sydney Opera House.

The broadcast will also feature remote appearances from Cathy Freeman, Celeste Barber and Hugh Jackman, who will host the event from London, with wife Deborra-Lee Furness presenting from New York.

Across seven continents, the 24-hour event will call on citizens to defend the planet by demanding that governments and major corporations take urgent action on the most pressing issues crippling our world today: poverty, climate change and inequality.

It’s the event that brings the world together as these influential figures bare their souls in the fight for a true and just society.

Coinciding with the UN General Assembly, the G20 Meeting in October and the COP26 Meeting in November, Global Citizen Live calls on Australia to commit to:

Reducing domestic emissions by 74% by 2030 and achieve net zero by 2050, with a clear plan of achieving this, ahead of COP 26.
Sign on to the Race to Zero and make new science-based targets in line with the Paris Agreement to avoid a greater than 1.5-degree temperature rise.
Donate further funding and vaccines via COVAX to ensure equitable access to the COVID-19 vaccine in the region.

Sunday, September 26, from 3.00am AEST on 9Now and highlights on Friday, October 1, at 12.00pm on Nine.
