Jay-Z has announced his upcoming run of stadium shows will include a date in London.
On Tuesday afternoon, it was announced that the Grammy-winning rapper – now seemingly going by the moniker Jaÿ-Z – will bring his upcoming tour to London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday 4 September, the same venue his wife Beyoncé previously played on her Renaissance and Cowboy Carter tours.
This will mark Jay-Z’s first London performance since his and Beyoncé’s On The Run II tour in 2018.
It’s been even longer since he last gave British fans a solo show, with his Tottenham show due to take place almost 13 years after his Magna Carter Tour shows in the English capital.
An official press release has teased: “The rapper’s new show celebrates a three-decade legacy of music and culture-making moments, marking 30 years since debut album Reasonable Doubt and 25 years since sixth studio album The Blueprint.
“Jay-Z brings his hugely acclaimed catalogue to London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday 4 September, for a night that promises to be squarely unmissable.”

General release tickets for Jay-Z’s London show will go on sale this Friday, 10 July, with pre-sale taking place a day earlier on Thursday 9 July. Visit Ticketmaster’s site for more ticketing information.
The Jay-Z 30 tour includes previously-announced dates in Paris on 10 September and Los Angeles on 23 October, with Variety reporting it will mark his “only UK stop of the year”.
Jay-Z’s most recent solo album was 2017’s 4:44. Following the release, he led the way with eight nominations at the 2018 Grammys, though none of these translated to a win (which he infamously addressed on the Beyoncé collaboration Apeshit).
In 2018, he and Beyoncé released their first full-length collaborative album together, Everything Is Love, under the name The Carters, earning them wins at the Brit Awards and Grammys.
