De La Soul, the hip-hop group that formed on Long Island in the '80s and has since give us hits like "All Good" and "Ring Ring Ring," just announced a groundbreaking concert happening on January 17, 2025 at Lincoln Center. The event will celebrate the band's decision to make its extensive catalogue available to streaming services for the first time ever and, on a more somber note, it will also pay tribute to founding member David "Trugoy the Dove" Jolicoeur, who passed away earlier this year.

But there's more: De La Soul will be testing a pay-what-you-wish model when selling tickets to attendees, effectively democratizing the concert experience. 

Here's everything you need to know about the pretty epic upcoming gig.
