EVENT DETAILS
On May 2, 2021 the new SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA welcomed an audience in for the USA’s first large-scale music event for a Covid 19-compliant audience. Over 27,000 fully vaccinated frontline healthcare workers and first responders were invited to attend the taping of Global Citizen’s Vax Live: The Concert to Reunite the World. Broadcast on May 8 worldwide to 100 countries and streamed globally on YouTube, the concert was part of Global Citizen’s Recovery Plan for the World campaign. It brought together artists, entertainers, and world leaders to ensure equitable vaccine distribution around the world, tackle Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy, and celebrate a hopeful future. Hosted by Selena Gomez, with a wide range of celebrity guests and featuring performances by Jennifer Lopez, Eddie Vedder, Foo Fighters, J Balvin, and H.E.R., Vax Live raised $302 million in funding along with commitments for over 26 million Covid-19 vaccine doses for the world’s most marginalized communities.
