Dj Angie hosted the benefit concert while Lin-Manuel Miranda and Rosie Perez made appearances for the night. Beyonce was also at the concert. However, she only came as a spectator and not a performer.

Fifth Harmony performed at the Tidal X Brooklyn concert in matching hot pink latex bodysuits and boots, boosting the crowd with their songs, "Work From Home" and "Down," Entertainment Weekly reports.

Performing a timeless favorite, "Jenny From the Block," was Jennifer Lopez joined by Fat Joe. She closed her set with "On the Floor," pumping the crowd with her powerful dance moves and blasting confetti to her audience.

Jay-Z was second to the last to perform, keeping the crowd up at 1 in the morning with "Empire State of Mind," "4:44," and other songs from his albums, "Magna Carta Holy Grail," "The Blueprint," "The Black Album," and "Watch the Throne."

Stevie Wonder was the concert ender and played "Love's in Need of Love" and "Superstition." Although people were beginning to exit the stadium during his set, Queen Bey was spotted walking through the crowd to come closer to Wonder as he performed.

The funds earned from the Tidal X Brooklyn benefit concert will be dedicated to hurricane relief operations in Puerto Rico, Texas, and Florida.
