The huge concert sweeping Central Park on September 26th with the aim of ending poverty by 2030 will rock jams from headliners Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Pearl Jam and Coldplay.
This year's Global Citizens Festival matters especially because this September, world leaders are gathering together to discuss their global goals for the next 15 years.
And hosting this year's festival? Stephen Colbert and Hugh Jackman.
Like many things, Stephen Colbert has his own hilarious take on the upcoming festival and its goals. Watch him and Hugh Jackman spin off on the subject in the video below.

Are you obsessed with Beyoncé? Do you breath oxygen? Do you love NYC?
Okay, we'll stop asking absurdly obvious questions now.
Except, do you love Coldplay? Okay, we know, we know, the answer to that question is just as obvious as if we'd asked you whether you love Ed Sheeran.
Well, this just in. Chris Martin, the creative director for the Global Citizen Festival who doubles as the lead vocalist and co-founder of Coldplay, has nailed it again.
Headlining this year's Global Citizen Festival are Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, and Pearl Jam.
(We knew we were right when we hypothesized that Pearl Jam might be attending.)
The Global Citizen platform was created by the Global Poverty Project in 2012, whose goal is to end the world's extreme poverty by 2030.
The Global Citizen Festival is a free-ticketed event timed to coincide with the launch of the United Nations' new Global Goals designed to fight inequality and project our planet.
This year's concert will be held on Saturday, September 26th on the Great Lawn in Central Park.
