Jay Z, Carrie Underwood, No Doubt, Sting, FUN, and the Roots will all be performing at Saturday’s concert in Central Park.

Volunteers from across the country earned free admission to the star-studded festival by completing community service.

Organizer Ryan Gall, who co-founded Global Citizen, says more than 60,000 people earned tickets this year.

“In order to get a ticket, you have to take action and those actions can be anything from signing a petition or tweeting out a congressman, asking them to vote a certain way,” Gall said. “When we work together towards a big goal, we can make big change.”

Global Citizen is an initiative of the Global Poverty Project, a group that aims to end extreme poverty by 2030.
