“Lisa is not only an incredible performer, but also a powerful advocate, leveraging her voice and platform to drive action on some of the most urgent challenges our world is facing,” she added.
The Global Citizen Festival is hosted by an organisation which shares its namesake, touted as “the world’s leading international advocacy organisation on a mission to end extreme poverty”, per The Hollywood Reporter. The show is scheduled to take place at the Central Park Great Lawn in New York on September 28.

‘Rockstar’ is also Lisa’s first solo single since she made her solo debut with the single album ‘LALISA’ in September 2021, which included a title track of the same name and B-side ‘Money’. She also featured on Big Bang member Taeyang’s ‘Shoong!’ in April last year.
