Jay Z and Beyoncé have recruited numerous superstars to perform at a charity concert in support of the Robin Hood Foundation. The Lemonade singer will perform alongside Nicki Minaj, Lauryn Hill and Common. The show will take place at Brooklyn's Barclays Center on October 15th and stream exclusively on Tidal.
The concert, titled Tidal X: 1015, will raise money to support education for New York City children, while other as-yet-unnamed charities proposed by the artists will also benefit. "A strong education is one of the best poverty-fighting tools there is,” Robin Hood's executive director David Saltzman said in a statement. "We’re thrilled that the proceeds from this once-in-a-lifetime benefit concert will support great teachers and strengthen schools. It will undoubtedly be an incredible night for everyone, especially our honored guests: the heroic teachers helping our most vulnerable children escape poverty."
TIP, DNCE, Emeli Sandé, Blood Orange, Cipha Sounds, Prince Royce and Salva are also part of the initial lineup alongside TIDAL Rising Acts Mark E. Bassy, Lil Yachty, Kevin Garrett, Danielle Bradbery, Sir The Baptist, Bebe Rexha and Levi Carter. Angie Martinez has been tapped to host the concert.
Tidal members and American Express card holders will be able to
purchase tickets on September 22nd at 10 a.m. EST while general on-sale begins on September 26th.
