Jay-Z announces two huge anniversary concerts

Jay-Z has announced he will play two huge anniversary concerts at New York City’s Yankee Stadium.

The rapper is set to perform two of his most popular albums in full.

The show begins on 10 July with a 30th anniversary celebration of Reasonable Doubt, and he’ll follow it up on 11 July by playing The Blueprint straight through for its 25th anniversary.

An Instagram post announcing the shows has no information about ticket sales, special guests, or the possibility of additional concerts. It merely urges, “Stay tuned.”

The news comes just one day after hip hop stars The Roots announced that Jay-Z would be joining them at their annual Roots Picnic in Philadelphia on 30 May.

And last month, the rapper and music exec made his 1996 single Dead Presidents available on streaming platforms for the first time, kicking off the 30th anniversary celebration that will continue throughout the year.

Jay-Z hasn’t released a solo album since 2017’s 4:44, although he did team up with his wife, Beyoncé, for their 2018 LP Everything Is Loved.

Since that time, the man known as Hova has kept a relatively low profile.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé have three children together: daughter Blue Ivy Carter, 14, and twins Rumi and Sir Carter, who are eight.
