Summary

JAY-Z has added second nights in London and Los Angeles to his "JAY-Z 30" anniversary concert series

The expansion follows three sold-out Yankee Stadium shows that celebrated the anniversaries of Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint

The run caps an active 2026 for the rapper that also featured a headlining return at Philadelphia's Roots Picnic

JAY-Z has extended his “JAŸ-Z 30” anniversary concert series, adding a second night in both London and Los Angeles as demand for the run continues to build. Announced by Roc Nation, the expansion tacks a second date onto London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, deepening a victory lap that has doubled as a tour through three decades of his catalog.

The additions extend a series built around JAY-Z’s own milestones rather than a new album cycle. Earlier this July, he took over Yankee Stadium for a back-to-back trio of concerts, each framed around a different chapter of his discography. The first night honored the 30th anniversary of his seminal debut Reasonable Doubt, the second marked 25 years of The Blueprint, and the third widened the lens under an “Extra Innings” banner. Together the three shows positioned the residency as a retrospective staged at stadium scale.

Those nights leaned heavily on the kind of guest list only JAY-Z can assemble. Across the Yankee Stadium run he brought out Beyoncé, Blue Ivy Carter, Eminem, Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, Fat Joe, Swizz Beatz and Slick Rick, turning the anniversary celebration into a summit of collaborators and peers. That momentum carried directly into the newly announced dates, which the label attributes to increased demand following the sold-out New York shows.

The expanded schedule fits a year in which JAY-Z has steadily reasserted his live presence. He made a headlining return earlier in 2026 at Philadelphia’s Roots Picnic, moving through his catalog while bringing out longtime affiliates including Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Memphis Bleek, Jazmine Sullivan, Bilal and Young Gunz. The forthcoming stadium dates now stretch that arc across the fall, with a Paris stop at Stade de France slotted between the London and Los Angeles legs.

The touring push also runs parallel to a broader reflection on his career. JAY-Z is set to sit down with Rick Rubin for JAY-Z in 8, an eight-part documentary series arriving on HBO this fall, with Rubin directing and interviewing the rapper about his music, lyrics, life and creative process. Taken alongside the anniversary concerts, the project frames 2026 as a year given over to surveying a body of work three decades deep.
