The Lied Center for Performing Arts is providing 3,000 free tickets to University of Nebraska-Lincoln students to attend a concert by award-winning R&B artist Tinashe for the annual Big Red Lied Experience.
Tickets are available to students on a first-come, first-served basis and can be reserved through the Lied Center’s Arts for All page located on the website at liedcenter.org/artsforall. The performance will take place at 7:30 p.m. on August 26. Prior to the performance, there will be a pre-performance festival with free food, club booths, photo opportunities and other fun festivities hosted by special guest D-Wayne. Doors will open at 6:30 PM.
Not only is Tinashe a multi-platinum-certified R&B disruptor singer, writer, and dancer, but she also produces, mixes, engineers, creative directs, and edits her own music. As a result, she blazes past any and all boundaries taking full control of her independence as she revs up to release her latest project “333”; a multi-track compilation featuring her latest singles “Pasadena” ft. the likes of Buddy, and “Bouncin”.
Powered by the double-platinum smash “2 On” [feat. ScHoolboy Q], the album crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard Top 200 upon arrival before popping up on year-end lists by Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Stereogum, The Guardian, Vulture, and so many more. Between touring alongside everyone from Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj to Maroon 5, she revved up the official mixtape Nightride. Rolling Stone and Fuse both proclaimed it among the “20 Best R&B Albums of 2016.” Along the way, she would grace the covers of Complex, V, Dazed, and Nylon, Schön, Gaytimes, L’Officiel, and so many more in addition to turning up with unforgettable performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Conan and Jimmy Kimmel LIVE!
Free Arts for All tickets are available to students paying the Fund A Activity fee. The majority of free tickets are released on the first day of classes in the fall and spring. Additional tickets are released throughout the semester as they become available. Learn more information, and see more about upcoming shows.
