On September 27, the 2025 Global Citizen Festival once again transformed Central Park into a global stage for music and activism. This year’s event was headlined by Cardi B and Shakira, with performances by Tyla, Ayra Starr, Mariah the Scientist, and Camilo. It drew thousands of fans on-site and millions more tuned in worldwide.

Concert Stuff Group (CSG) was a key partner in making the large-scale production possible, with several of its companies providing critical infrastructure for the festival. G2 Structures debuted as the provider of the festival’s main stage along with the delay speaker towers, designed to deliver the strength, scale, and precision required for a show of this magnitude. G2 Mobile Structures supplied a two-tiered structure that provided the Cisco Pavilion on the bottom, along with the FOH Mix position for the show above. Guardian Barrier Services successfully implemented the event’s crowd control plan with its barriers, while Field Protection Agency protected the park’s grounds with its proprietary flooring systems.

“Global Citizen Festival is a shining example of how music can drive impact on a worldwide level,” said Jim Brammer, CEO of CSG. “It’s a privilege for our teams to contribute the expertise and equipment that help create an environment where these important performances and messages can resonate.”

With a portfolio spanning companies that provide full-scale production, staging, audio, video, video production, LED, lighting, barriers, flooring, trucking, and tour buses, CSG brings together 14 companies working across live entertainment globally. Known for detail-oriented planning and the highest level of professional execution, the group supports events of all sizes, from headlining superstar tours to cultural milestones like the Global Citizen Festival.

By providing the essential structures and services behind the scenes, CSG helped ensure the 2025 Global Citizen Festival delivered a powerful message and a seamless live experience for audiences everywhere.
