Tidal X Lineup Announced, Jay-Z To Headline (But No Beyonce!)

By Brent Furdyk.

Jay-Z’s Tidal streaming service has announced the lineup for its third annual Tidal X concert, set to take place at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Oct. 17, with this year’s event to “benefit natural disaster awareness and relief,” reports Variety.

While some news outlets (including Us Weekly) earlier reported that Jay-Z and wife Beyonce would be performing, those reports only proved to be half correct: according to the just-released lineup, Jay-Z has been confirmed as a headliner, while Beyonce’s name is absent from the lineup.

In addition to Jay-Z, other headliners at this year’s event will be Jennifer Lopez, DJ Khaled, Kaskade and Chris Brown.
