Overview

  • The Global Citizen Live free concert will take place at Enseada de Botafogo on Saturday with Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean, YG Marley, Zion Marley and Ludmilla headlining and a program scheduled from roughly 17:00 to 22:00.
  • Admission is restricted to people who redeemed free tickets through Global Citizen’s points-for-actions platform; final ticket drops ran June 3–5 with daily 10:00 allotments that awarded the first 50 pairs to users with 30 points.
  • Rio authorities issued a special operations plan that deploys CET-Rio traffic agents, Guarda Municipal teams, Centro de Operações Rio monitoring from more than 100 cameras and drones, and extended MetrôRio hours to manage arrival and departure flows.
  • Organizers directed attendees to use Botafogo station and two pedestrian underpasses for access, warned that surrounding streets remain open to vehicles, and noted a minor discrepancy in stated gate-opening times (14:00 versus 15:00) so patrons should confirm before arrival.
  • The production has committed to onsite services including free potable water stations, Libras interpreters, audio description, accessibility platforms and neurodivergent support, and the city arranged expanded cleaning and medical teams to serve the crowd.
