Everything You Missed So Far at Jay-Z’s Yankee Stadium Run

Pitchfork · 1 day ago

Jay-Z inaugurated a three-performance run at Yankee Stadium with over 45,000 attendees, marking three decades since his debut album Reasonable Doubt. The opening night featured a minimalist stage design that centred the artist, with surprise appearances from his wife Beyoncé, who opened the show, and their daughter Blue Ivy Carter on piano, alongside fellow musicians Nas, Alicia Keys, and others.

The second night shifted focus to The Blueprint on its 25th anniversary and set a new ticket sales record for the stadium. Pharrell delivered the most substantial guest contribution, appearing across five songs, whilst Eminem joined for a performance of their collaborative track. Jay-Z concludes the New York residency with a third show before bringing the anniversary celebration internationally to London, Paris, and Los Angeles.
