Big news for Blinks and Number Ones! Rosé of BLACKPINK is set to join the star-studded lineup at the 2025 Global Citizen Festival in New York. The event goes down on September 27th, 2025, with live streaming worldwide. She’ll share the stage with Shakira, Cardi B, Tyla, Ayra Starr, Mariah the Scientist, Camilo, and Elyanna, making this her first-ever solo festival appearance.
Global Citizen’s music officer Katie Hill hyped the announcement, calling Rosé “one of the most influential artists of this generation.” She then invited the Blinks and Number Ones to see Rosé shine solo at Central Park’s Great Lawn. This appearance at the Global Citizen festival comes as BLACKPINK is taking a break from the DEADLINE World Tour, which will resume on October 18th in Taiwan.
Hosted by Hugh Jackman, with co-hosts like Bill Nye and Danai Gurira, the festival blends music and activism. The event advocates to end extreme poverty, with everyday leaders in entertainment, public policy, and philanthropy taking action. With Rosé making her solo festival debut, the stage is set for a historic night made for those in need. Fans better bring their lightsticks and get ready to give back through music.
