2026 Global Citizen Festival Featuring TXT Cancelled Due to Weather

The highly anticipated 2026 Global Citizen Festival, which was set to feature K-pop group TXT as a headliner, has been abruptly cancelled.

On September 25, Global Citizen announced the cancellation, citing safety concerns related to severe weather forecasts for the weekend in New York City. The festival was scheduled to take place on September 26, and included other notable artists such as Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, and Lenny Kravitz.

In their official statement, Global Citizen emphasized the importance of safety, stating, "We cannot safely bring tens of thousands of Global Citizens, artists, crew, vendors, partners, and staff onto the Great Lawn." This marks the first cancellation in 14 years for the festival, which has been a staple event promoting global awareness and action.

Refunds for ticket purchases will be processed automatically, and those who made donations for tickets will also receive refunds. Global Citizen assured attendees that they would receive detailed information via email regarding their options.

Fans of TXT and festival-goers alike expressed disappointment, as the event promised a lineup of exciting performances and a chance to support global causes.
