Dave Chappelle, featuring Black Thought, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, and possibly Mos Def. Live stand-up comedy, and live music. From what I know they are still putting this together, working out details, etc., so keep your eyes open for additions to the bill.
I snagged these links from other posts for additional info:

I tried to click into Ticketmaster from 9:59 and kept getting the "no tickets for sale" message until about 10:20. I had a friend in line at Ovens at the same time... there were six people ahead of her in line and "best available" was the back row of the orchestra???

go there 20 minutes early, 2nd in line, no prob.
about 5 minutes before the tix go on sale, the lady tells us the system is down, and they dont know when it will be back up.
so i wait....
and i wait...(like Scorsese in Taxi driver)
at the same time, i'm calling the number. Right when i get through, the lady says that the system is back up. The person in front of me knew the person behind me, gave her money to her and bounced, so now i'm first.
he's coming to Houston 2 days after we have our baby.

Great. Another concert that won't come anywhere near Memphis. I'm happy for the rest of ya'll, though. I'm just in the wrong city for this type of hip-hop. Maybe one day after pigs fly and hell freezes over, we'll get more diverse acts in the M-town, as opposed to Little Webbie and Project Pat.

is it include all the others if it doesnt say he's with the plock party allstars? like in seattle is it just Dave Chappelle? I will miss it either way, but im just curious how dissappointed i should feel in the meantime.
Man I just tried to buy tickets for the san francisco show and they were all sold out!!! What the fuck?? How come I just got news of this???? Does any one have an extra ticket for the show in San Francisco? I'll pay top $$$$ for it... plz??
my bad, didn't realize it was seattle, but most of the people posting on this topic are from sf, that's why I just assumed it was coming from sf. keep it moving.
im in miami working and missed it...if anyone gets the lead on 1 or 2 tix let me know, im not tryin to pay a bunch of $$....
by the look of craigslist, it looks like MF's just bought them to sell them for a $300 handling fee. well see come saturday night how much them shits are.

<heated>Yeah, that was some bullshit. I'm not mad those fans getting tickets. Not even mad at those selling them on Craigslist for double to triple the face value. Just mad at ticketmaster. I know that they must of had a block set aside or something. I mean the shit was sold out before the 'buy tickets' link on The Warfield site was active.</heated>
47. "Wait you got both of them for a total of 180?" In response to Reply # 46
where? on craigslist they were all selling for 150 each! cheapest I saw was 250 for a pair. damn, but I still ain't spending that much, this is just a bunch of hype, it'll be dope as hell, but I don't got the money for this.
62. "RE: Wait you got both of them for a total of 180?" In response to Reply # 47
Yeah this dude was selling 2 extra tickets for 185 both of them. They're not the best seats, but f*ck it they will do! I did see the ones you're talking about 150, fools are trippin.
I'm going to the madlib/jrocc/peanut butter wolf show/tribute to jay dee tonight at the mezzanine. so I'm cool on spending 200$ to go see chappelle and friends, it'll be dope, but that's a grip to spend for one show. Give us a review on tues!
I had the page up and just refreshed it at 10am and got em...I hear they may have some for sale at warfeild and the filmore, but you have to go when the box office is open. Which for the filmore next is 7pm on Friday...
"RE: NC or PA it is.-we're sold out down here (NC)"
unless you already got you ticket
somethings not right about this. how the hell did some places sell out in one minute, and ours 9NC) didnt go on sale until like 15-20 after 10, and by the time they "went on sale", the very minute they did, they were already giving balcony seats as best available
theres something screwy going on around here.....or my name isnt Rollivore....

That show was BAD ASS- my 1st time seeing Talib & Ms Badu was amazing as usuall. Dave had me lmao. dude had to have been drunk. he even freestyled a pretty nice verse. Anyone else on here make it to the dallas show?

I finally got my tix for the Charlotte show. And check who's comming with me...? My mother, not only does she want to see Dave, she is hoping for a Roots performance as well.

Due to unexpected circumstance, I have a few tickets that will go to waste if they don't sell. If anyone is interested in floor seats at the Dayton show, please email me: kwitmer@gmail.com
79. "I caught the show in Dallas last night" In response to Reply # 78
Dave did a few routines. He was funny as usual. Kweli ripped it. He did quite a few jawns. Erykah's voice was hoarse as hell, but she still managed to put on a decent show. The band was tight. Then near the end, she, Kweli and Dave all freestyled different stuff. Dave even busted a little freestyle. It was held at the Black Forest theater in sunny south Dallas. I was kinda hoping The Fugees would make a surprise performance...but I guess I was wishing for too much.

About how many people attended or showed up-roughly? I mean was it a sell out or did it appear to be one. So this goes out to the players that went. While it sounded pretty cool from the cat that went, I think I'll get more out of the movie or when it comes out on DVD, than had I put down 55 bucks for a ticket.
93. "Philly's show last night" In response to Reply # 0 Tue Feb-28-06 09:49 AM by imaphillygirl
I have to tell you this show was okay, nothing to brag about. Dave Chappelle was hilarious of course but he was more like a host of the concert. The funniest part of the evening is when Dave had them playing the theme songs from Good Times and The Jeffersons and the white folks were looking like "What the fuck?" Talib Kweli was good but most of the folks that came out, I don't think they were familiar with his music or style. Black Thought and Mos Def did not show.
Now onto Erykah.......As much as I love her, she sucked!!!!!! I've seen her live and I swear her show is to die for but last night at the Tower was another story. What happened? Then they cut her show so she started to do a medley of some songs. She didn't do "Kiss me on my neck" or "I want you". I was very disappointed.
The jam session at the end was a joke.
Black Ice came out and stole the whole show. They could have given him more time.
