LOS ANGELES, June 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the
precedent set by his instantly sold-out presentation at Madison
Square Garden in February - which was livestreamed to over 200
million people worldwide by global music and entertainment
platform, TIDAL - today Kanye
West has announced another milestone: an exclusive premiere
event, at the world famous LA Forum this Friday, June 24th at 7pm
PST, for the new visual to "Famous," the first single from
West's history-making seventh consecutive #1 album, The Life Of
Pablo. Doors open at 6pm.
Tickets for the premiere will go on sale for $25 at 10am PST tomorrow
morning through Ticketmaster:

A limited amount of local TIDAL members will have access to
tickets as well, via TIDAL social channels.
For those unable to attend, the event will be livestreamed on
TIDAL for members and non-members alike worldwide. In addition, the
visual for "Famous" can be seen exclusively on TIDAL for one week.
The "Famous" livestream is the latest example of the exclusive
content and experiences available for TIDAL members, solidifying
the platform as a go-to destination to connect fans to their
favorite artists.
Earlier this week, due to off-the-charts demand, Kanye West added a fourth show at the LA Forum
for his upcoming SAINT PABLO TOUR, after the first three October
dates sold out instantly, along with two nights at Madison Square
Garden, two nights in Chicago, and
multiple other dates. As Kanye's history-making live performances
continue to innovate the concert experience and set new standards
for the visual medium, his SAINT PABLO TOUR, promoted exclusively
by Live Nation, is the most anticipated concert event of the
year.
Kanye West released his seventh
solo album for Def Jam Recordings, The Life Of Pablo, to universal
critical acclaim. The New York Times,
on its front page, declared: "With flux embedded in its DNA,
"Pablo" is crisply alive, like water that's still boiling even
though the flame is off. Pay close attention to the multiple
iterations and you hear an artist at work…It's everything bared —
process as art." Rolling Stone raved: "a complex, conflicted
masterpiece." "His devotion to the craft of album-making remains
his greatest talent," Pitchfork mused. "Albums are his legacy…His
ability to package hundreds of stray threads into a whole that
feels not just thrilling, but inevitable - at this, he is better
than everyone." And USA Today
simply asked: "Is Kanye West the greatest artist of the 21st
century?"
