Jay-Z is expanding his 30th anniversary celebration with two major stadium shows in Paris and Los Angeles.
Roc Nation announced on Tuesday, June 9, that the Brooklyn rap legend will perform at Stade de France in Paris on September 10 before heading to SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on October 23.
The newly announced dates follow Jay-Z’s return to the festival stage at Roots Picnic in Philadelphia on May 30. The performance marked his first headlining festival appearance since 2019 and launched a run celebrating three decades since the release of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt.
Presale tickets for the Paris and Los Angeles concerts will become available through Citi and Mastercard on Thursday, June 11, at 10 a.m. local time. Fans subscribed to Jay-Z 30 will also receive access to the presale.
General ticket sales begin through Live Nation on Friday, June 12, at 10 a.m. local time.
Before taking the anniversary celebration overseas and to the West Coast, Jay-Z will return home for three sold-out concerts at Yankee Stadium from July 10 through July 12.
The opening show on July 10 will focus on Reasonable Doubt, which turns 30 in June. The July 11 concert will celebrate the 25th anniversary of The Blueprint, while details surrounding the third night have not yet been confirmed.
The July 12 performance could combine material from both albums or see Jay-Z move through hits from across his career, though Roc Nation has yet to reveal the official format.
Jay-Z released Reasonable Doubt through Roc-A-Fella Records on June 25, 1996. The album, which featured tracks including “Dead Presidents II,” “Can’t Knock the Hustle” and “Brooklyn’s Finest,” peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard 200 before growing into one of hip-hop’s most celebrated debut projects.
Five years later, Jay-Z released The Blueprint on September 11, 2001. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 after selling 427,000 copies in its opening week and became another defining release in his catalog.
His recent Roots Picnic set gave fans an early look at what the anniversary run could deliver. Along with performing songs from across his career, Jay-Z drew attention with an a cappella freestyle that listeners interpreted as containing references to several major figures in hip-hop.
With sold-out New York dates already locked in and stadium performances now confirmed for Paris and Los Angeles, Jay-Z is turning the anniversary of his debut into a global celebration of his career and legacy.
