Rapper Q-Tip has announced his plans to celebrate the King of Pop with a birthday Tribute Show featuring special guest DJ Spinna.
The event, which happens on August 27 at 9:00pm, will take place at New York City's Irving Plaza, just two days before what would have been Michael Jackson's 53rd birthday.
"Michael Jackson was a huge influence on my music and was an inspiration to me and so many others. I want to bring people together to celebrate the man, his music and his legacy that will undoubtedly live on forever," Q-Tip said.
Tickets are on sale now for $20.

Here is the follow-up to J.Period’s 2010 release, Man Or The Music.In the history of modern music, few artists have had an impact on the scale of Michael Jackson, touching the lives of fans in every corner of the globe. From age 11, alongside his brothers in The Jackson 5, to the record-breaking sales of Thriller and beyond, Michael Jackson left behind a catalog of music capable of moving any dance floor on the planet. Or a park filled with 50,000 people.This Saturday, August 27, 2011, J.Period & DJ Spinna are pleased to join filmmaker Spike Lee & 40Acres.com in paying tribute to Michael Jackson’s incredible catalog of music with Man or the Music 2 (40 Acres Edition). Created in collaboration with world-renown DJ/producer and official BKMJ DJ, DJ Spinna, Man or the Music 2 (40 Acres Edition) delves deeper into the story of Michael’s music with rare, live and remixed gems unavailable anywhere else—including never-before-heard MJ tributes from Erykah Badu & The Roots, Questlove, Stevie Wonder, Yahzarah and more.This epic new mixtape collaboration is available exclusively to fans in attendance this Saturday, August 27, 2011 at Spike Lee’s “Brooklyn Loves MJ” event from 12-6pm in Prospect Park’s Nethermead Field.

Props to Q-Tip.
Since the location is NY, it'll probably be rescheduled like Brooklyn Loves MJ??
