Global Citizen Live wrapped up over the weekend with Coldplay headlining the New York leg of the massive 24-hour festival.

Helmed by Global Citizen, an organization that aspires to eradicate poverty by the year 2030, the musical lineup was curated by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin - a task he's taken on for the entire duration of the initiative.

For their 9-track setlist, the British pop-rock act brought out a number of guests - from Billie Eilish and FINNEAS to BTS.

Renowned Chinese pianist Lang Lang also joined the band in their performance of 'Clocks,' a track which normally sees Martin on keys.
