- Jay-Z added a second London date at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (September 4-5), two Los Angeles shows at SoFi Stadium (October 23-24), and a Paris concert at Stade de France on September 10.
- The new dates follow three sold-out Yankee Stadium concerts in early July celebrating the 30th anniversary of "Reasonable Doubt," the 25th anniversary of "The Blueprint," and an "Extra Innings" set.
- Beyoncé, Eminem, Rihanna, and Pharrell Williams were among the guests who joined Jay-Z across the Yankee Stadium run, alongside Blue Ivy Carter, Fat Joe, Swizz Beatz, and Slick Rick.
- Jay-Z's earlier 2025 stage comeback came via a headlining set at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia, where he brought out Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Memphis Bleek, Jazmine Sullivan, Bilal, and Young Gunz.
- Rick Rubin is directing and interviewing Jay-Z for the eight-part HBO documentary "Jay-Z in 8," set to debut this fall.
Why it matters: Three consecutive Yankee Stadium sellouts clearly convinced promoters to extend the run across the Atlantic, giving fans in London, Paris, and Los Angeles access to a catalog-spanning show that had been U.S.-only. Combined with the fall HBO documentary, the schedule positions 2025 as a coordinated career-retrospective push across live performance and television.
