It's been confirmed that Kanye West will be playing a free concert in Manhattan on June 9th, courtesy of Heineken. The beer company says they are "giving fans in 8 select markets the chance to see a local G.O.O.D. Music performance as well as the grand prize of catching Kanye West in NYC on June 9th." There's an unofficial Facebook page tracking details for the "true once in a lifetime experience," which allegedly will also include free, all-you-can-drink Heineken! Aside form that, details are scarce, just a date, a borough, and lots of speculation.
According to My Free Concert, it looks like Wiz Khalifa & Pusha T will be opening for him. They also try to narrow down the venue, saying it could be "in the warehouse where Nas /Cee-Lo went down, so Pier 36, 299 South Street on the Lower East Side, or where Cold War Kids / MTV Skins parties happened at 330 West Street." Or, you know, anywhere else in Manhattan.
We'll update as more information becomes available, and we highly recommend checking the show out—his recent MoMA performance was highly enjoyable, and we're not just saying that because of all the free wine.
