For it's third year, Global Citizen Festival really upped the ante, with performances from the likes of Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood, Jay Z, and surprise guest, Beyonce Knowles.
And in an event like no other, celebs such as Hugh Jackman and Zachary Quinto shared a stage with world leaders such as Prime Minister Narenda Modi of India and Queen Silvia of Sweden.
Even Barack Obama made an appearance – via a pre-recorded message – where he voiced his support for the concert, which aims to raise awareness and money for victims of poverty and disease worldwide.
