International advocacy organisation, Global Citizen, in partnership with Wizcraft, has organised a 24-hour across the globe live event to raise awareness on variety of issues like poverty, climate change and others.

Over 60 artists are participating in The Global Citizen festival in cities including Mumbai, New York, London and Seoul. Tens of thousands of people are expected to attend, while millions are likely to tune in to the broadcast. The event kicked off on Saturday in Paris, where Elton John performed in front of the Eiffel Tower. He took to the stage following a pre-recorded performance by the K-pop band BTS.
