Jay-Z is taking his anniversary celebrations from New York out across Europe and the U.S. stadium circuit in 2026. According to a Ticketmaster-backed Ticketmaster partner overview and coverage from USA Today, he has confirmed shows in London, Paris and Los Angeles between September 4 and October 24, 2026, extending his Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint tributes beyond Yankee Stadium.
Confirmed 2026 stadium dates in Europe and the US
The clearest outline of Jay-Z’s late-2026 run comes from USA Today’s ticket report for his concerts in London, Paris and Los Angeles, which lists five stadium dates after the Yankee Stadium shows. The piece details a Jay-Z show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Friday, September 4, a second London date on Saturday, September 5, a Jay-Z 30 show at Stade de France on Thursday, September 10, and two nights at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on Friday, October 23 and Saturday, October 24, 2026. USA Today’s concert schedule positions these dates as part of a compact international extension of his anniversary concerts.
How the 2026 shows connect to his anniversary run
The stadium dates in London, Paris and Los Angeles build directly on Jay-Z’s 30th and 25th anniversary celebrations for Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint. Earlier coverage of the Yankee Stadium stand describes July 10, 11 and 12, 2026 shows in the Bronx framed explicitly around those milestones, with full-album performances and guest appearances. USA Today’s ticket piece situates the European and West Coast shows as additions to that same anniversary concept, using branding like Jay-Z 30 for Stade de France and SoFi Stadium, indicating fans in Europe and California will see curated sets centered on those landmark albums rather than a generic greatest-hits tour.

What’s next on Jay-Z’s concert calendar
Looking ahead from August 19, 2026, the next officially dated shows on Jay-Z’s calendar are the stadium concerts in London and Paris and the SoFi Stadium double-header in Los Angeles. USA Today’s concert schedule and a Ticketmaster-linked listing confirm London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 4 and 5, Stade de France in Saint-Denis near Paris on September 10, and SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on October 23 and 24, 2026 as the key remaining stops of his 2026 run.
Jay-Z’s sound and body of work behind the shows
These stadium dates are anchored in the two albums that reshaped Jay-Z’s career trajectory: Reasonable Doubt, released in 1996, and The Blueprint, released in 2001. Reasonable Doubt fused street-level storytelling with jazz and soul-sampling production, establishing him in New York’s rap landscape, while The Blueprint pushed a more soulful, sample-heavy sound with producers like Kanye West and Just Blaze, and elevated him to mainstream superstardom. Playing these records in full at Yankee Stadium and then carrying the concept to London, Paris and Los Angeles situates the 2026 shows as a live retrospective of his evolution from hustler’s rapper to global hip-hop figure, rather than just another tour behind new material.
