Jay-Z plans for special one-off concert for Obama

Washington (ANI): Rapper Jay-Z has announced plans for special one-off concert to celebrate U.S. President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration into the White House. The hip-hop icon is set to team up with concert promoter Live Nation for an 'intimate performance' in Washington, D.C. on 19 January (09) - the day before the Democrat is sworn into office.

Jay-Z will perform with a full band at the city's 1,847-capacity Warner Theater, reports Contactmusic. The '99 Problems' hitmaker was a staunch supporter of Obama throughout his historic election.
