TIDAL may not have taken the streaming world by storm, but the Jay Z backed platform is pressing on.
Today it has been announced that the service will broadcast a live charity concert featuring Jay, Beyonce, Usher, Nicki Minaj, and more on October 20th.
Details below…
Christened TIDAL x 1020, the event boasts an all-star lineup of more than 20 artists including (in addition to those mentioned above) Prince, Lil Wayne, T.I., Damien Marley, Thomas Rhett. The Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York will house the extravaganza.
Tickets will on sale for TIDAL members first today (September 30th) at 12 pm. ET, and for the general public on Friday (October 2nd) at 12 pm ET. Fans are encouraged to donate above each ticket’s face value, as all funds collected from ticket sales will be administered by New World Foundation on behalf of Tidal.
Stressing the inaugural event’s philanthropic focus, a press statement adds that all proceeds will benefit nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing positive community relations and effecting systemic change for the development and sustainability of such societies. {Source}

Smart.
Though clearly out of their depth on the song streaming side of the tracks, it’s cool to see TIDAL diversifying into lanes that their competition aren’t pursuing as aggressively.
Could a turn-around be near?
@musicnews_facts “Birthday Cake” by Rihanna is the shortest song (1:18) to go platinum in the US. http://t.co/hLMn3NTyOF
Hey gurl! I see you here lowkey waiting for Bey’s new album again.
Nobody cares tho!!!!!!!!!!!!
TOO BAD SHE HAD TO USE A MAN WHO BRUCE LEE’D HER FOR A REMIX
WHAT!!!!!!!!!
OMG will Bey n Jay grace us with a performance of their hits together!!!! I hope so!!!! Beyonce needs to quit playing and drop some new music already!!!! Oh and I’m excited for Nicki to lol! Hope they finally perform FEELING MYSELF LIVE TOGETHER!!!!
Lil Kim’s new single will be out sometime this week under La Face records and her highly anticipated 5th studio album will be released the very beginning of 2016. The new single is penned by Ester Dean and is said by insiders to be the hit that will bring her career to higher levels than before. Are you ready?!
Her singles will ALWAYS be penned by someone else
TIDAL IS NOT HAPPENING WITHOUT A TAYLOR SWIFT
Bawahahahahaha so many streaming services are happening without Taylor Swift tho so…..
UGHHH I WON’T RE-WRITE THAT…
I REPLIED TO YOUR COMMENT SCROLL DOWN PLEASE
They just celebrated 1 million subscribers!!!
That’s it?!
Screw Taylor Swift, everyone on Tidal has some form of talent. Omgggg I would love if Usher, Bey,and Lil Wayne performed Love in this Club. And Prince, I wish I could go mannnnn
Taylor swift has talent tho
Playing an instrument and writing hits
And deep throating for days, Lord knows where I’d be if had her head game
But everyone deep throats she just doesn’t need To discuss it
ArianatorBarb is just ????… Lol… I think you should hide tho.. Once LoveBottom sees your avi he’s gonna pounce on you. #WELP
@ Arianator Barb, is that you in your Avatar? If so, you’re s*** as hell!
@annalise and @Benjamin lol thank you, yes it’s me
Tyler Swiss isn’t on Spotify and Spot is killing the game. She’s not powerful.
The irony of that CENTIPEDE f***, being the first to comment..LOL
Taylor swift is just the the white version of Rihanna, both have been passed around like a bong during spring break
NO THAT’S MILEY
.
TELL ME WHEN RIHANNA PASSES THE 2X PLATINUM CERTIFICATION
@TURNITUP THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I MENTION SALES SO……….
But Taylor be in relationships tho
S** comes with commitment
@Faf Oh please! Taylor hasn’t held a relationship for more than a year it seems. If Kim K is a h** for having boyfriends for years at a time, then idk what the hell Taylor is. Shall we go through the list of boyfriends Taylor has had? Taylor knows no commitment! She’s just as slutty as Rihanna. At least Rihanna owns it and doesn’t try an play as a fake a** sweetheart.
AND ALL OF THOSE SERVICES ARE CHEAP SOME FREE
.
WHICH IS WHY MOST OF THEM RIHANNA IS THE MOST STREAMED….
.
TAYLOR SELLS ALBUMS LIKE NO OTHER AND TIDAL IS EXPENSIVE AND SWIFTIES BUY ALBUMS AND SINGLES SO……
Pls can you stop being that ONE ANNOYING BORELOR SWIFT fan on here?????????
OH YOU MUST ALSO STAN QUEEN TAY TAY SHE WAS BORN THE SAME DAY AND MONTH YOU PUT 2013 INSTEAD OF 1989… LIKE WTF???
What a fuckking idiot u are?? The 2013 and DEC is in reference to when that DIGITAL DROPPED AND THE WORLD STOPPED..Now bitchh, i dare u to CARRY ON.
Stfu you not even a real swiftie. You just another random troll looking for recognition and notoriety on a goddam blog smh. You hide behind Taylor just because she has receipts to prevent you from getting your basic ass dragged.
TBH I’M SO SICK OF YOU ACTING LIKE YOU KNOW ME… HOW THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW WHO I STAN FOR???? AND WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS ON MY REPLY SECTION?…… F** BYE
@TURNITUP THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I MENTION SALES SO………
Taylor’s not as big as you make her out to be 40 million albums sold and about 27 million of those are sold right here in the US LAWLZ!!! Only 13 million worldwide hahaha I’ll wait for that reply… Stop trying to push that 12 keys in a sentences holding thing on the world. Because they see through the lies!! Pure and utter TALENTLESS garbage.
Kii nobody even mentioned sales yet it started mentioning platinum certifications and sales see why I said it’s nothing but a fake Taylor Stan probably a navy in hiding or just a random sad kùnt
HEY SIS I’VE CHANGED I KISS ASSs NOW….. NO NEED FOR YOU TO TRY DRAG QUEEN T
IF THAT’S TRYING
Which really sucks for Taylor. Everyone knows you’re not truly a star until you make waves globally. Tay is doing her thing in the U.S. but she couldn’t hold a stick to Bey, Rih, Katy, Gaga, etc outside of these United States.
FYI: I don’t like the b—– her success mimicks Lean Rhimes. The fact that she bought friends make her look like a pathetic, spineless b****. What is she going to do when her sales drop? I just wish her hype would die because she’s lowered than mediocre.
I see they pushin this tidal service thingy… Many ppl still aint buying it tho.
YEAH, but it already has one million PAID subscribers tho!!!! TRY AGAIN
In there !
SINCE YOU BASIC HOESs WAN’T ME TO KISS ASSs……….
OMG…. I’M SO HERE FOR THIS,, I’LL DEFINITELY WATCH YAAY….. SPIRIT
I really hope Nicki and Bey perform Feeling Myself. I’d get all my life

https://mobile.twitter.com/musicnews_facts/status/649225128199360515?p=v
WHEN WILL YOUR FAVES????
Omg I can’t breathe lol I can’t wait to see Usher, Nicki & Wayne ! I hope the Queen releases new music before then because I would hate to see the same show for the 3rd time but a “feeling myself”, “love n this club (remix) performance would be great too ! I just really have a feeling Bey will release music in October but *fingers crossed*
This just might be the Concert of the year !!
Lmaoo tidals A FLOPPPP loool
Your fave is a flop b**** lol.
No amount of grimy slutty ass gimmick filled Mc’s or 50 year old thieving transgender hookers can save tidaltanic..Its dried, washed up like beys career 🙁
Lmao but Beyonce’s career isn’t dried up. She’s still selling albums by the millions. Her last big hit was number 2 on Billboard. Her last world tour revenues was over $200 million, which is her highest grossing tour so far. Not to mention the press is all over her and her family! Without any given face to face interviews with anyone in like over a year. She also manages to grace the cover of magazines without even speaking to the editor of the magazine lol! When will your fav have such a high demand.
People have Tidal? Like is it actually a thing? *opens Spotify app*
I’m not a TIDAL subscriber but I will be checking this out. Bey and Usher better grace the stage together! Their performance of his track, ‘Bad Girl’ in 2005 was lowkey iconic and s*xy as hell. However, seeing that they’re both older, married and more mature, I’d like to see them do something more focused on their vocal talents. Kinda like what Bey did with Ed Sheeran this past weekend at the Global Citizen Festival.
The only thing that ruined TIDAL from the beginning was that ridiculous pompous announcement they made.
However, there’s still room for improvement so hopefully Jay won’t throw the towel too soon.
You go bey and Jay I am a member good luck and more success in all you do
The marketing for Flopal. Co-owners changed their twitter profile pic blue, they formed the Justice League on stage, each released one music video to under performing singles, Jay Z did a flop side of a tape concert, Beyonce played chop sticks on a piano and now this. And they wonder why they only have 1 Million subscribers.
.
And I don’t want to hear no “White men this and Apple and others teamed up”, but they’re supposed to, it’s their competition. This isn’t the BET awards or Grammys, nothing will be just handed to Jay & Co just because they think they’re entitled.
And Beyonce is clinging to tours. People will get tired real quick, MARK my words. She don’t have the creativity like Madonna or Janet to keep fans coming back. (Nor the hits)
She’s preparing to drop new music , idiot she’s just building a buzz, everyone knows it’s coming soon so what are you talking about ?
For Tidal to be a fairly new streaming service, having 1 million PAID subscribers is a HUGE accomplishment. Haters will always have something to say but it’s doing better than APPLE MUSIC. That’s the REAL FLOP. And it’s cheapest package is $13 a month?? Talking about power!! #Bowdown
I wonder if Blue Ivy will be performing.
