Okay, donors, now let’s get in formation. Power couple Beyoncé and Jay Z will reportedly be hosting an enormous Tidal charity concert next month at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center — the streaming service’s unofficial headquarters — the New York Post reports. (No, don’t be snarky; it isn’t for Tidal itself.) To be held on October 15, Tidal will collaborate with poverty-fighting organization the Robin Hood Foundation for the concert, with other musicians such as Nicki Minaj, Lauryn Hill, and Lil Wayne expected to perform. Tickets will range between basic $50 seats to $100,000 VIP packages. The event, of course, will be streamed live on Apple Music. (Kidding. Tidal for life, baby!)
Update: Tidal has officially announced its second charity concert will be held at Barclays Center on October 15, as previously reported. Beyoncé will indeed headline, along with Nicki Minaj, Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, Common, and more. All proceeds will go to the Robin Hood Foundation to raise money for education. General sale starts September 26, but Tidal subscribers get first dibs on September 22. The event will also stream on Tidal.
