J. Cole plans to perform songs from 2014 Forest Hills Drive live in New York City in honor of the successful album's 10th anniversary.
On Friday night, November 29, the North Carolina native announced the "2014 Forest Hills Drive 10-Year Anniversary" concert. The one-night-only event will go down on Monday, December 16 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Pre-sale tickets are available now before general sales begin on December 4. J. Cole also plans to bring back his "Dollar & A Dream" tickets, which means fans can buy a ticket to the concert for one dollar on the day of the show.
The show announcement arrived hours after J. Cole revealed his plans to re-release 2014 Forest Hills Drive for the 10th anniversary. The Dreamville co-founder will debut two versions with an alternate cover and eight unreleased tracks that were supposed to appear on the double album Cole originally intended to release. Each special edition contains four unreleased songs including "Home Soon," "Die Together" "Judgement Day" "Winter Wonderland" "Keep Heaven Dancing," "Miles," "Black Man In Hollywood," and "Obviously." The CDs and vinyl will drop on December 6 but only 2,014 vinyls will be available.
As if all those announcements weren't enough, J. Cole also released his iconic mixtape Friday Night Lights on all digital streaming platforms. The 19-track project features smash hits like "In The Morning" featuring Drake, "Yo Got It" with Wale, "Enchanted" featuring Omen and more. The mixtape arrived on the same day Cole shared the latest episode of his "Inevitable" series.
"This is a very special moment for me," Cole said about the mixtape. "Been waiting patiently for this day, like a lot of yall have. I wanna say Thank you to everybody out there that kept these projects alive, even during all the years they were not on streaming services, especially this project right here. 'Friday Nights Lights' finally available now on all platforms."
