Jay-Z is heading to the capital to continue his 30th anniversary tour with two headline shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The shows mark his first solo UK appearance in over a decade, the last time being the Magna Carter World Tour in October 2013.

Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, last performed in the UK in 2018, when he joined his wife for their On The Run II Tour.

The upcoming headline shows, celebrating the anniversaries of Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint, come after the 56-year-old's New York residency at the Yankee Stadium.

For three nights, the legendary rapper returned to his hometown to delight fans with a huge array of his hits from across his three-decade spanning career.

And it wasn't just the musical talents of Jay-Z that attendees got to witness. The artist brought out a star-studded line-up of guests, ranging from Rihanna, to Usher, and of course, wife Beyonce.

But who will make a guest appearance at the Tottenham Hotspur shows?

Whilst no supporting acts have been announced, speculation is rife as to who will join the legendary rapper this weekend.

According to The Sun, Rihanna, who collaborates with Jay-Z on hit song Run This Town, is set to make an appearance.

Meanwhile, Beyonce, who is celebrating her 45th birthday on Friday, 4 September, could also hit the stage.

"Jay-Z and Beyonce love London so this will be a special night," a source said.

"Beyonce will truly have a birthday to remember and the fans will be delighted to see her."

No announcement has been made by Jay-Z or either star's teams to confirm the reports.

The stars who featured at the rapper's three-day residency are as follows;

Beyonce

Blue Ivy Carter

Nas

Memphis Black

Jay-O

Alicia Keys

Slick Rick

Eminem

Pharrell Williams

Teyana Taylor

Jermaine Dupri

Jeezy

Usher

Rihanna

The-Dream

Swizz Beatz

Clipse

Fat Joe and Jadakiss

In a social media post from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, asking fans who they thought the rapper would be bringing out, one name stuck out.

"As long as Beyoncé will be there idc about the rest ngl (sic)", said one fan, whilst another guessed that the concert on Friday could double as "Beyonce's birthday party".

Justin Timberlake, Usher, Nas, Pharrell and Eminem were some of the names mentioned.

Others have speculated if Jay-Z will bring out a UK rapper for his only UK show as part of his 30th anniversary tour.

"He's friends with Giggs so likely him, If not I'd assume it'll be Skepta or Stormzy," guessed one user.

"Probably Skepta. Jay z performing at Tottenham stadium, so it would make sense," theorised another, whilst Kano was also another popular suggestion.

JAŸ-Z is set to perform at London's Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Ahead of his upcoming sold-out run at Yankee Stadium this week, JAŸ-Z and Roc Nation have announced a London stadium date, expanding the series of performances taking place this year. Set for Friday, September 4, 2026 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the date will be his only UK stop of the year as he celebrates his 30-year career.

Two men have denied charges of burgling Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the night Beyoncé played to a sell-out crowd.

Alirza Dag and Murat Kodalakoglu, both 23, are accused of accessing a VIP rooftop terrace at the north London venue.

The pair also face charges of causing £1,700 worth of damage to an electronic keypad used to gain entry to the exclusive terrace.

At Wood Green Crown Court on Thursday, Dag admitted criminal damage to the door access control panel, while his co-defendant pleaded not guilty to the same charge.

Defence lawyers Tetevi Davie and Anisa Kebbati, representing Dag and Kodalakoglu respectively, stated that their clients had no intention to steal in relation to the burglary allegations. Ms Kebbati added: "(Kodalakoglu) denies any intent or involvement in criminal damage."

Their trial has been scheduled for 18 February 2030. Due to the significant time until the hearing, Judge Daniel Fugallo imposed a sole bail condition: that they inform their solicitors within seven days of any change to their address or contact number.

The prosecution had previously claimed at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court that the two men broke in "with intent to steal".

The incident occurred on 16 June last year, during the final night of six sold-out shows at the Spurs ground for Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter world tour.

Dag, from Tottenham, and Kodalakoglu, from Chelmsford, are alleged to have burgled Lilywhite House, which houses administration offices at the £1 billion stadium.

They are accused of cutting wires on the electronic access panel to gain entry to a balcony terrace typically reserved for senior club executives.

Beyonce also performed a series of concerts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in 2023.

The pop star headed over to the English capital to play hits from her Renaissance album at the venue that officially opened in 2019.

Their trial was set for February 18 2030 and, due to the length of time until that date, Judge Daniel Fugallo issued the sole bail condition of informing their solicitors within seven days if their address or contact number changes.

The prosecution claimed at a previous Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court hearing that the two men broke in "with intent to steal".

The incident happened on June 16 last year, on the final night of six sellout shows at Spurs' ground for Beyonce's Cowboy Carter world tour.

It is alleged Dag, from Tottenham, and Kodalakoglu, from Chelmsford, burgled Lilywhite House, which houses administration offices at the £1 billion stadium.

They are accused of cutting through wires on the electronic access panel, and gaining access to a balcony terrace which is usually only used by senior club executives.

Tottenham Hotspur's captain Cristian Romero has been criticised for travelling to Argentina just days before a crunch game for his side.

The defender was not expected to play in Sunday's home clash against Everton, which could decide his team's future Premier League status, due to a knee injury.

However, fans said he should still be there because of the importance of the match, and to support his teammates.

It is unclear if he will return to London in time.

But Former England captain Stuart Pearce said the timing of the trip "stinks".

A video of the Argentinian at the training ground of Buenos Aires-based Belgrano, was posted on X on Thursday by his boyhood club.

World Cup reaction after big names overlooked

If Roberto De Zerbi's team loses on Sunday, while West Ham beat Leeds, Spurs will be relegated to the Championship.

Any other combination of results for the London sides and Tottenham will stay up, while the Hammers go down.

Pearce told TalkSPORT: "If you're a Tottenham fan and your captain is thousands of miles away, wow, there's a statement there.

"That means I've [Romero] not got you in this problem, it's not my fault, that's what that statement sent out to me. It's not good."

Pearce said he had watched Romero, who recently signed a new contract at Spurs, play earlier this season and looked at "how he was playing [the] game, how selfish his defending was. I looked at him and I thought, 'that's your captain?'".

Romero was described as a "great captain" by De Zerbi on Monday.

If he does not return to the UK in time for Sunday, it is thought the 28-year-old may instead watch his boyhood club's game against River Plate in a title-deciding final that same day.

Belgrano president Luis Artime told TyC Sports: "Yesterday he [Romero] was training and I told him I think he's going to be the one who arrives at the World Cup in the best shape. I've seen him and he's in great form. He's going to arrive well-rested, ready to join the team at its peak."

Romero was not at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday, where Spurs lost 2-1 to Chelsea, but he was present for his side's draw with Leeds on 11 May.

According to De Zerbi, he has contributed to the squad's preparations despite being unable to play since mid-April.

But any absence on Sunday for one of the biggest Premier League matches in Tottenham's history may prove the final straw for some supporters.

Sky News has contacted Spurs to ask if Romero will return in time for Sunday's match.

A Tottenham Hotspur footballer who was involved in a minor car accident on Tuesday ahead of a European fixture is reportedly "fine".

Randal Kolo Muani, a forward for Tottenham, was involved in the incident on his way to the airport ahead of the Champions League clash against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Head coach Thomas Frank confirmed the incident and said both players are expected to be available for the match at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Mr Frank said: "Everyone else involved in that accident was fine.

"It was a tyre blowing up, so, they are a little bit delayed but they will land later tonight."

Photos shared on social media showed Mr Kolo Muani and his teammate Wilson Odobert standing beside a damaged black Ferrari.

Mr Odobert was reportedly in a separate vehicle but stopped to assist.

Both players travelled together to Germany.

Mr Frank said: "They're fine, it was on the way to the airport.

"I haven't spoken to them personally yet.

"The first message is that they are fine and nothing happened, as I said the first time.

"They will fly out later and I fully expect both to be available for tomorrow."

With 98 minutes played at the City Ground it seemed Liverpool were set to drop two crucial points in the Premier League title race but Darwin Nunez struck a last-gasp winner to secure a 1-0 win at Nottingham Forest on Saturday. It was the 18th time Liverpool have scored a winner beyond 90 minutes in the Premier League since Juergen Klopp took charge but few felt more important as the Reds maintained the relentless pressure at the top of the table. Klopp's side's eighth win in nine league games left them on 63 points from 27 games, four points ahead of champions Manchester City who host Manchester United on Sunday and five ahead of Arsenal who play Sheffield United on Monday.
