Tidal X Brooklyn Benefit Concert: Who’s Performing, How To Watch Online

Jay-Z is bringing back Tidal X, a benefit concert put on by his streaming service Tidal, for its third year on Tuesday in Brooklyn, New York.

The star-studded show began in 2015 with proceeds going to organizations that promote racial and social justice. The event continued in 2016 with money raised going to support education initiatives and will now raise funds for natural disaster relief with its 2017 show.

With Jay-Z, Stevie Wonder and Jennifer Lopez headlining the Tidal X Brooklyn benefit concert, there shouldn’t be any problem getting ticket sales and individual donations that will go to support organizations helping with natural disaster relief in areas like Texas, Florida, the Caribbean and Mexico.

Where And When Can You Watch?

This benefit concert will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and for those who are able to make it to see the large-scale event in person, tickets are still available on Ticketmaster.

Tickets start at $56 for some of the seats in the 200 sections and go all the way up to $2,500 for the VIP1 Package, which includes: One Premium VIP floor seat ticket, VIP Entrance with access to artist sound check & rehearsal (per artist approval), access to Pre-Concert VIP Reception with open bar and food at the 40/40 Lounge in Barclays Center, access to the Official After Party at the 40/40 Club in Manhattan with expedited entry, complimentary TIDAL Hi-Fi voucher and concert memorabilia.

All of the Ticketmaster service fees have been waived for this event to help keep the cost low and to ensure all the proceeds go to benefit the natural disaster relief charities.

The event begins at 8 p.m. EDT at the venue, but it can also be seen from the comfort of your home.

Tidal will live stream the concert on its own platform at 8 p.m. EDT/5 p.m. PDT, but those without a subscription shouldn’t worry too much as Tidal offers a 90-day free trial. As long as you cancel before the three months are up, you will not be charged the $9.99/month subscription fee, though, of course, if you wish to continue using the service, simply never cancel it and your credit card will be charged appropriately.

How Do You Donate Money And Which Charities Will Benefit?

For those attending the concert, all ticket earnings will be donated to aid natural disaster relief. To donate further, after selecting which Tidal X tickets you would like to purchase, Ticketmaster will ask if you would like to make a separate donation in increments of $10, $25 or $100.

If you are not attending in person and still wish to donate, Tidal has a donation page open to all who wish to give. There are suggested donation amounts of $1, $5, $10 and $20, but there’s also an opening for those donating to put in whatever donation amount they would like to contribute.

The net benefit concert proceeds will go to benefit various natural disaster relief and recovery organizations, including: The Empire State Relief and Recovery Effort for Puerto Rico, Global Giving, All Hands Volunteers, Kids in Need Foundation, Direct Relief, One America Appeal, Greater Houston Community Foundation, Miami Community Foundation, Habitat for Humanity in Puerto Rico, and more.
