Tidal Confirms 1015 Charity Concert With Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, Nicki Minaj, T.I.
Jay Z and Beyoncé will host the second annual Tidal X charity concert next month. Tidal X: 1015 will be held at Barclays Center in Brooklyn on 10/15 featuring sets from Beyoncé, Lauryn Hill, Nicki Minaj, Blood Orange, Alicia Keys, Common, Lil Yachty, Salva, and many others. All proceeds from the show will to to the Robin Hood Foundation, one of NYC’s largest poverty-fighting organizations, to “raise awareness, and funds in order to create positive social impact focusing on education initiatives around the world,” according to a press release. Of course the event will stream live on Tidal on 10/15, but it will be available for both members and non-members of the streaming service and you can donate from the stream page. Last year’s Tidal X: 1020 raised more than $1.5 million, which was allocated in grants to a select list of organizations promoting social and racial justice.
