iHeartMedia and the Global Citizen Festival partnered to help channel the power of music to fight inequality, protect our planet and end extreme poverty by 2030. For the sixth consecutive year, iHeartMedia was named the official radio partner of the Global Citizen Festival. This year the two iconic events took place on the same weekend allowing for unique in-show collaborations including iHeartRadio Music Festival performer Sia’s performance being broadcast in Central Park live from Las Vegas, and a special crossover performance by Usher who performed on both Festival stages on the same night.
In the past five years the Festival has helped raise $1.7 million for a number of national charities, including the American Association of Cancer Research, Lupus Research Alliance, Ryan Seacrest Foundation, CureDuchenne, The Grammy Foundation, ALS/Augie’s Quest, The American Red Cross and many more. Additionally, the Festival plays host to a number of critically ill children and their families through its long-term partnership with the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
