Through this new partnership, Arsenal fans who have bought Platinum or Gold memberships with the club for next season will be granted a free six month subscription to TIDAL’s hi-fi service, while Silver and Red members will be given access to the Premium service .
There are more than 50 million songs available to stream on TIDAL, which as founded by Jay-Z and a cohort of other musicians, including Beyonce, Kanye West, Rihanna and Usher, as a competitor to Apple Music and Spotify.
Jay-Z’s support for Arsenal is clearly no joke. The New York born hip-hop artist has been spotted at the Emirates many times with other musicians such as Chris Martin.
Rihanna, another TIDAL founder, was recently given a tour of the stadium and met several first team players after Arsenal’s 5-1 win over Everton back in February.
