Just months after the star-studded Concert for Valor, another round of big acts are coming to D.C. for an Earth Day tribute concert. After three years of being held at New York’s Central Park, the Global Citizen Festival is expanding to D.C., for Global Citizen 2015 Earth Day. The event will be taking place on Saturday, April 18, from 11:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m. on the Washington Monument Grounds. No Doubt, Usher, Fall Out Boy, Mary J. Blige, Train, and My Morning Jacket will be the event’s headliners, with special appearances by Common and Nigerian artist D’Banj. Will.i.am will host alongside veteran journalist Soledad O’Brien. The event will occur simultaneously with the 45th anniversary of Earth Day, as well as the spring meetings of the World Bank Group and the International Monetary Fund. The event is free to the public. Additional information is available at: GlobalCitizen2015EarthDay.org.
