Global Citizen Festival 2012 Concert

The Global Poverty Project (GPP) has announced the 'Global Festival 2012,' a multifaceted event culminating with a free ticketed concert on the Great Lawn of New York's Central Park on September 29, 2012. Neil Young with Crazy Horse, Foo Fighters and The Black Keys will headline, supported by Band of Horses and K'Naan. 'The Global Festival,' which celebrates achievements made towards eradicating extreme poverty, has been timed to create awareness around the UN General Assembly in New York, when world leaders will convene to debate the Millennium Development Goals and make commitments to end extreme poverty.
