Jay-Z announces first London show in almost a decade

Jay-Z has announced that he’ll be performing in London later this year.

The Brooklyn rapper is putting on shows across the world in 2026 to celebrate 30 years since the release of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt.

Now, Hov has revealed that he’ll be performing at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 4th. Pre-sale tickets for the show, dubbed “JAŸ-Z 30,” will go on sale July 10th at 10am local time, with general sale going live on July 9th.

The concert will mark his first solo London show in 13 years following four nights at The O2 as part of his Magna Carter World Tour.

Despite going over a decade without his own concert, Jay-Z did perform in London in 2018 as part of his co-headlining On the Run II Tour with his wife, Beyoncé, in support of their Everything Is Love album.

London serves as his second show outside of the US this year, with the rapper set to perform at Stade de France in Paris on September 10th.

Jay already headlined Roots Picnic in Philadelphia on May 30th. He’s set to perform three shows at Yankee Stadium, in the Bronx, New York City, this weekend.

The first show, on July 10th, will celebrate three decades of Reasonable Doubt, which was released in 1996.

Then, on July 11th, he’ll honour 25 years of his The Blueprint album, following its release in 2001. Due to “unprecedented demand,” he announced a third show for July 12th, described as an “extra innings” concert.

Finally, Jay-Z will turn his attention to Los Angeles on October 23rd with a show at SoFi Stadium. It’s currently unclear whether more dates will be added.
