Pearl Jam will perform at the 2015 Global Citizen Festival on the Great Lawn of New York City’s Central Park on September 26th, along with fellow headliners Coldplay, Beyoncé and Ed Sheeran.

The annual festival, in its fourth year, will air on MSNBC as well as stream live on iHeartRadio and Tidal.

The Global Citizen Festival will be Pearl Jam’s only tour date in the U.S. for all of 2015. The announcement comes after a teaser photo the band tweeted earlier this month.

“We hope Pearl Jam fans will sign up to become Global Citizens — not just to earn tickets to the show — but to be part of a movement that encourages leaders of nations with the greatest wealth to apply aid, trade and governance policies in support of nations and communities in the greatest need,” said Pearl Jam’s Stone Gossard in a statement.  “People living on less than $1.50-a-day deserve the opportunity to lift themselves up out of extreme poverty.” 

Tickets can be earned by taking actions to end poverty on globalcitizen.org. VIP tickets are available through Ticketmaster.
