Developed over time first seen 4 months ago
Jay-Z has added extra dates to his "Jay-Z 30" concert series, expanding the London and Los Angeles legs of the tour after his three sold-out Yankee Stadium shows earlier in July 2026. The additional performances reflect strong demand for the run, which celebrates 30 years since his debut album and caps a busy year of live returns for the rapper.
A second London date has been added at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with shows now on 4 and 5 September, alongside a second Los Angeles date at SoFi Stadium on 23 and 24 October. A Paris concert at the Stade de France on 10 September falls in between. The tour follows Jay-Z's Yankee Stadium residency, which marked the 30th anniversary of "Reasonable Doubt" and the 25th anniversary of "The Blueprint" with guest appearances from Beyoncé, Eminem and Rihanna among others, and comes as he also prepares an eight-part HBO documentary with Rick Rubin, "Jay-Z in 8", debuting this autumn.
