The Multicultural Community Fueled Activity Board and Cornell Concert Commission are thrilled to announce that Grammy-nominated powerhouse Ty Dolla $ign with Special Guest Dua Saleh will perform on April 18th, 2025 at 7PM in Barton Hall. Reserve your tickets below.

Ty Dolla $ign has redefined the sound of modern R&B and hip-hop, evolving from a sought-after West Coast collaborator into a global superstar with over 10 billion streams to his name. Known for his signature smoky vocals and effortless versatility, he first broke through with the 2011 smash "Paranoid" and his foundational Beach House series. His solo discography, including the critically acclaimed Free TC and the star-studded Featuring Ty Dolla $ign, has consistently dominated the Billboard 200, while his joint projects—most recently the chart-topping Vultures series—have further cemented his status as a musical visionary.

Beyond his solo success, Ty is widely regarded as the industry’s "secret weapon," having lent his hit-making touch to legends like Rihanna, The Weeknd, and Post Malone. With a career spanning multi-platinum hits like "Or Nah" and "Blasé," his performance promises a high-energy fusion of soulful melodies and heavy-hitting production. From his early days in Los Angeles to headlining the world's biggest festivals, Ty Dolla $ign continues to shape the culture, making this a must-see event for the Cornell community.

LA-based Sudanese-American artist Dua Saleh continues their ascent with Of Earth & Wires, a resolutely warm, spiritual, and frenetic follow-up exploring notions of home, humanity, and renewal. Executive produced by Billy Lemos (SZA, Paris Texas, Tinashe), the album features contributions from Bon Iver, aja monet, Gaidaa, and others. Saleh threads and deconstructs indie, R&B, and electronic pop with flashes of Sudanese folk, UK dance, and baile funk, sounds intrinsic to their story, all held together by ambitious, future-facing production and clear-eyed lyricism.

Saleh’s soulful, gritty, shape-shifting style has found fans from The New York Times to NME, alongside their breakout role in the Netflix series Sex Education, making 2024's Ghostly International debut, I SHOULD CALL THEM, a proper arrival. The highly anticipated Of Earth & Wires responds to the moment as both a watershed in their career and an urgent dialogue with struggles faced on a universal level. Beyond mythological references and planetary narratives, with their strongest, most immediate material to date, Saleh makes the case for love above progress and greed, for divine beauty and the enduring flame of the human spirit.
