Jay-Z is touching down in London for two massive shows, marking his first solo appearance in the UK in over a decade. The rapper will play Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday, September 4 and Saturday, September 5, following a sold-out run at New York’s Yankee Stadium in July.

The back-to-back stint is named JAY-Z30 in celebration of the 30th anniversary of his debut album Reasonable Doubt – and 25 years since his sixth studio album, The Blueprint. It’s been nearly 13 years since Jay-Z last performed in the capital with his Magna Carter tour.

The North London performances land on wife Beyoncé’s birthday and speculation is building that she will join Jay on stage. The superstar surprised her own fans when she brought out her husband on the European leg of her Cowboy Carter tour in June last year.

While Jay-Z is yet to announce any guest acts, he was joined by Rihanna, Eminem, Nas, Usher, Pharrell, Teyana Taylor, and Alicia Keys at his recent USA gigs so it’s likely some big names are lined up.

Fans still have a chance to buy tickets and purchase limited-edition merchandise ahead of the highly-anticipated concerts.
