LiveXLive Media has partnered with three-time Grammy Award-winner Darius Rucker to power Pay-Per-View for the 11th Annual “Darius & Friends” concert benefiting St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
The event will be held on July 30, 2020 at 8:00 p.m. ET / 5:00 p.m. PT. Ticket prices to the pay-per-view event start at $15.00. LiveXLive will also offer VIP bundles with limited-edition and autographed posters priced at $50 and $100, respectively, available at LiveXLive.com/Darius.
LiveXLive’s Pay-Per-View offering launched in May 2020 enabling digital ticket sales, merchandise sales, digital meet-and-greets, and tiered-ticket pricing in addition to its core live streaming product as a one-stop-solution for artists and festivals.
“Pay-Per-View allows artists to go directly to fans, and perform for arena-sized audiences online and on mobile,” said Robert Ellin, Chairman and CEO of LiveXLive. “It’s great to enable artists to replace traditional venue concerts with live streaming and pay-per-view. We’re honored to work with Darius to continue his annual commitment of raising funds for St. Jude with the Darius & Friends concert.”
Rucker, whose social channels reach 5.2 million fans worldwide, will be joined by Clint Black and Tracy Lawrence on the iconic Grand Ole Opry stage in Nashville, to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. In its 11th year, the annual event has raised over $2 million to date. Rucker made a commitment to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in 2008, after touring the facility known around the globe for treating childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Events like this help ensure families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.
“Even though we can’t all get together for a normal concert right now, it’s important that we continue to support St. Jude and the amazing work that they do,” shares Rucker. “I hope we can bring a fun night of music to everyone watching from home while also raising money for this important cause.”
The event is sponsored by CDW, Intel, PNC Bank, Cigna, Hendrix Enterprises and Delta Dental of Tennessee. For more information, visit www.DariusRucker.com and follow on social media @DariusRucker.
