Global Citizen Live: Rio de Janeiro
What Attendees Need to Know Before the Event

Rio de Janeiro, June 2, 2026 – On June 6, Global Citizen Live: Rio de Janeiro will take place at Botafogo Bay as a free, ticketed event featuring Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean in a special celebration of the 30th anniversary of the iconic album The Score, with appearances by YG Marley and Zion Marley. The lineup will also include Brazilian artist Ludmilla, in a night hosted by Giovanna Ewbank and Bruno Gagliasso.

More than a concert, Global Citizen Live: Rio de Janeiro is part of a broader movement connecting music, social impact, and civic action. In the weeks leading up to the event, thousands of people across Brazil have taken action through the Global Citizen app and WhatsApp platform, supporting campaigns focused on climate action, sustainable development, education, and economic opportunity. This gives them a chance to earn tickets to the show.

As attendees prepare to gather at Botafogo Bay, Global Citizen has compiled key information to help the public plan their experience, including transportation, ticket access, venue services, and accessibility resources.

Public transportation is strongly recommended for both arrival and departure.

Those arriving by taxi or ride-share should be dropped off along Praia de Botafogo and use one of the pedestrian underpasses to reach the venue. No road closures are planned around Botafogo Bay, and Flamengo Park (Aterro do Flamengo) will remain open.

Free Water Stations

To help attendees stay hydrated throughout the event, complimentary drinking water stations will be available across the venue.
