Tidal and the Robin Hood Foundation confirmed Wednesday that they have partnered to support education through a special concert being called TIDAL X: 1015. The event will be Tidal's second annual philanthropic festival featuring performances from a very stacked lineup that includes Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Nicki Minaj, T.I., Ms. Lauryn Hill, Blood Orange, Lil Yachty, and more on October 15 at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
The presale for Tidal members begins September 22 at 10:00 a.m. ET right here while the tickets for everyone else will go on sale September 26. One hundred percent of all ticket sales will benefit Robin Hood and Tidal supported nonprofit educational organizations.
The event will raise money for Robin Hood, education for children in Jay's hometown of New York City, and for charities nominated by the artists. Tickets for the charity concert will reportedly start at $50 and will range in price up to $100,000 for some VIP packages.
Jay Z previously threw a similar event under the Tidal banner at the Barclays Center back in October of 2015. Jay Z, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Travi$ Scott, Meek Mill, Rick Ross, Usher, and more all hit the stage in a night that was streamed live on the service. Tickets for the show sold out in minutes and all of the proceeds went to various charities via the New World Foundation.
This past week, a news report from The Wall Street Journal found that Tidal is still struggling financially, noting that the streaming service posted a net loss of $28 million in 2015, the same year it was acquired by a group of artists led by Jay Z.
