Demi Lovato [1] will take Selena Gomez [2]'s place as the headliner for this year's Global Citizen Festival [3] in New York City on Sept. 24, People exclusively confirmed on Sept. 7. The news comes just a week after Selena announced her decision to cancel the remaining dates of her Revival tour and take some time off [4] to focus on her health.

"The Global Citizen Festival combines music and activism in a way that inspires and affects millions around the world. I am proud to support this amazing organization's ongoing efforts to improve global healthcare and to end extreme poverty," Demi, who has been teasing new music [5] on social media, said in a statement. If the "Body Say" singer's [6] recent Adele cover [7] is any indication, we're sure she's going to rock this exciting gig among some of the top talent in the industry.

Those interested in attending the Central Park-based concert can find out more details about how to win tickets at GlobalCitizen.org [8].
