All of the ticket sales will support charities through the New World Foundation.
Tidal, which is owned by Jay Z, Beyonce, Madonna, Rihanna and other artists, has struggled to compete with Spotify and others since it was launched this year.
It led Jay Z, aka Shawn Carter, to post a series of passionate tweets about the service in April.
Tidal is doing just fine. We have over 770,000 subs. We have been in business less than one month. #TidalFacts

The iTunes Store wasn't built in a day. It took Spotify 9 years to be successful…

There are many big companies that are spending millions on a smear campaign. We are not anti-anyone, we are pro-artist & fan. #TidalFacts

….Tidal is where artists can give their fans more without the middlemen. #TidalFacts
