All net proceeds from ticket sales at the Oct. 17 concert will go towards disaster relief efforts in afflicted areas. Benefactors include the Empire State Relief and Recovery Effort for Puerto Rico, Global Giving, All Hands Volunteers, and others, Rolling Stone reports.
This is the third time streaming service Tidal has held an annual benefit show. The first, in 2015, featured performances from Beyoncé, Jay Z, Prince, and Usher, and raised money for non-profits focused on social injustice. Tidal’s 2016 benefit supported education for New York City-based children. According to Tidal, the events have raised more than $3 million in total.
Beyoncé, who performed in both 2015 and 2016 was a rumored headliner when the this year’s show was initially announced last week but does not appear on Tidal’s official lineup.
