When Jay Z celebrates his success he goes big and invites everyone to join. After tweeting about Tidal going platinum with one million subscribers, the streaming service founder announced a charity concert event, Tidal X: 1020 in his hometown Brooklyn. The event will be featuring a plethora of musicians from different genres, creating a lineup for all types of music lovers to hear.
In addition to Jay Z, Beyonce, Prince, Usher and Nicki Minaj are some of the headliners for the Oct. 20 Barclays Center event, as Rolling Stone reports. Tidal X: 1020's initial slate of performers also includes Lil Wayne, T.I., Damien Marley, Fabulous, Thomas Rhett, Indochina, DJ Chipa Sounds and DJ Reflex.
Not only will you be able to catch big names like those, but the event will also feature Tidal rising acts, Benjamin Booker, Hit-Boy, Bas, Jidenna, Justin Skye and Raury. This is a small list of the many performers that will be there.
Tickets went on sale today (Sept. 30) to Tidal subscribers at 12 p.m. EST and to the rest of the public Friday, Oct. 2, also at 12 p.m. EST. Tickets will be priced anywhere from $74 to $244 and all ticket sales will be supporting charities via the New World Foundation. SPIN reports Tidal will also match 100 percent of all net proceeds during the pre-sale period.
Jay Z initially sent out a tweet hinting at the show on Tuesday "Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists' Tidal is platinum. 1,000,000 people and counting. Let's celebrate 10/20 Brookyln."
Shortly after the charity concert event was announced along with its massive lineup.
Tidal will be streaming the event through their website for subscribers and non-subscribers and viewers will be allowed to donate through that as well.
Prince recently released his new song "Free Urself" through Tidal right after unveiling his new album HitNRun.
