Jay-Z will return to London for a single show on September 4, 2026, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, marking his first solo appearance in the UK in over 12 years. The rapper, whose real name is Shawn Corey Carter, will perform just one gig in the country as part of his JAY-Z30 show, celebrating 30 years since the release of his debut album Reasonable Doubt and 25 years since his sixth studio album The Blueprint.
Details of the London performance
The London concert will be one of only two European shows, followed by a performance in Paris on September 10. It will be nearly 13 years since Jay-Z last performed in London during his Magna Carter tour. The date also coincides with his wife Beyoncé's birthday, who turned 44 this year.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z have collaborated on numerous tracks, including 03 Bonnie And Clyde from his 2002 album Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse. The show comes days after Beyoncé marks the 20th anniversary of her debut solo album B-Day, on which Jay-Z appears on the song Deja Vu.
Previous collaborations and family
Beyoncé surprised fans by bringing out Jay-Z during the European leg of her Cowboy Carter tour in June 2025, where they performed their hit single Crazy In Love. The couple married in 2008 and have three children: Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir. They have collaborated on songs like Drunk In Love, Upgrade U, and Part II (On The Run).
Jay-Z's career and upcoming shows
Jay-Z is known for hits such as Empire State Of Mind, 99 Problems, and Numb/Encore. He is co-founder of the entertainment company Roc Nation. The London performance will follow a string of shows at New York's Yankee Stadium in July 2026.
