Continuing its “50 & Forever” celebration of hip-hop, Amazon Music will present an exclusive livestream of the blockbuster “N.Y. State of Mind Tour,” featuring Wu-Tang Clan and Nas with special guest De La Soul, on October 18.
The livestream, which begins at 8 p.m. PDT, will broadcast the Seattle date of the blockbuster hip-hop tour from Climate Pledge Arena. Fans can watch the livestream on the Amazon Music channel on Twitch and Prime Video.
The “N.Y. State of Mind Tour” unites three of the most influential East Coast hip-hop acts of all time on one unforgettable bill, bringing New York City to the rest of the world.
The 32-date global tour kicked off in May in Auckland, New Zealand and has found the hip-hop icons traversing Australia, Europe, and North America.
The 2023 tour comes on the heels of the sold-out 2022 “N.Y. State of Mind Tour,” which hit 25+ cities last year, and was nominated for Pollstar’s Hip-Hop Tour of The Year.
