If you couldn't make it to New York City for the 7th annual Global Citizen Festival, you can still watch the show's Youtube live stream today starting at 4 PM ET.

Featuring performances from Janet Jackson, The Weeknd, Shawn Mendes, Cardi B, and Janelle Monae with special guest John Legend, Hugh Jackman and Deborra-lee Furness will return to host the show ahead of the live show.

Organized by the Global Poverty Project, the festival's aim is to "bring together top artists with world leaders to make commitments toward ending extreme poverty," so the night of live performance comes alongside an excellent cause.

Check out the live stream above.
