The most important concert of the year is going down at Barclays Center tonight, and it sold out within minutes!

All the biggest stars from Jay Z and Beyoncé to Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and even Usher and Prince, plus many more special guests, will be doing their things in Brooklyn to help out a great cause.

All of the proceeds of the tickets sold for the special event called Tidal X: 10/20 will go to charities via the New World Foundation.

However, this is just the first of what's expected to be a series of philanthropic music events focusing on social injustice thrown by Tidal, the company Jay Z invested in earlier this year.

Tidal's biggest mission is to create real change in society, and no one is innovating that more than one of the evening's performers R&B star Usher, who just released and will be performing the song "Chains."

The interactive video for "Chains" uses facial recognition technology to make sure you don't look away from your computer screen while the track plays and real stories of social injustice are displayed before you.

Tidal X:10/20 is literally the Super Bowl of concerts for 2015, and what's best is it's all for a good cause.

Watch the live stream of the show here tonight at 8 pm!
