The legendary artist is set to take the stage at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday, September 4, and Saturday, September 5.
These concerts mark the only UK appearances for the rapper in 2026, following a record-breaking run at New York's Yankee Stadium.
The second night was added after what organisers described as "unprecedented demand."
Fans attending the shows can anticipate a musical journey through the rapper's illustrious 30-year career, with some surprise guest appearances speculated.
Jay-Z's career
The Tottenham concerts are part of a limited series of performances commemorating Jay-Z's 30 years in the music industry.
Starting his journey with the release of his debut album Reasonable Doubt in 1996, Jay-Z has become one of the most successful rappers in history.

Concert details
Both concerts are set to start at 5pm, with a curfew at 10.30pm.
However, fans are advised to verify the timings on their tickets and any additional information provided by the venue.
Ticket availability
For those who have yet to purchase tickets, there is still a chance to see Jay-Z live.
As of now, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium lists reserved seating and standing tickets as available for both nights, along with VIP experiences.
Ticketmaster also shows tickets for both September 4 and September 5.
However, availability may change as the concert dates approach, so fans are advised to buy through official ticket sellers and confirm the exact price and location before purchasing.
Guest appearances
While no official support act has been announced for the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium concerts, fans can expect some surprises.
According to reports, Beyoncé and Rihanna are expected to appear with Jay-Z, although these appearances have not been officially confirmed by Jay-Z, Roc Nation, or Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The first Tottenham concert falls on Beyoncé's 45th birthday on September 4, adding to the speculation.
The report suggests Beyoncé could join Jay-Z for Drunk in Love, while Rihanna could appear for Run This Town.
Both artists previously joined Jay-Z during his anniversary concerts at Yankee Stadium.

Northumberland Park is also nearby and served by Greater Anglia trains.
Fans travelling on the London Underground can use the Victoria line to Seven Sisters or Tottenham Hale, before walking or connecting with other services.
Large crowds are expected before and after both concerts, so fans should allow additional time for their journeys.
Temporary road closures and traffic restrictions may also operate around the stadium during major events.

Significance of the London shows
