Jay-Z Announces 'Jay-Z 30' Concerts in Paris and Los Angeles

Music icon Jay-Z has unveiled plans for two new "Jay-Z 30" concert dates, extending his retrospective series to Paris and Los Angeles later in 2026. These performances come on the heels of his appearance at the Roots Picnic and precede his scheduled shows at Yankee Stadium, further celebrating three decades of his influential career in music.

The newly announced shows are set to take place in two major international cities. The first performance is scheduled for Thursday, September 10, 2026, in Paris, followed by a concert in Los Angeles on Friday, October 23, 2026. These events will offer fans in Europe and on the West Coast an opportunity to experience the artist's extensive catalog, which spans chart-topping hits and critically acclaimed albums.

Tickets for these highly anticipated events will be available to the general public starting Friday, June 12, at 10 AM local time through Live Nation. Prior to the general sale, an exclusive presale window is being offered to Citi and Mastercard holders. Citi cardmembers can access presale tickets for the Los Angeles concert, while Mastercard cardholders have special access for the Paris show. These presales commence on Thursday, June 11, at 10 AM local time and conclude at 10 PM local time on the same day.

While specific details regarding the concert format for the Paris and Los Angeles dates remain under wraps, the moniker "Jay-Z 30" suggests a continuation of the 30th-anniversary themes explored in his earlier performances. For instance, his upcoming Yankee Stadium shows are slated to commemorate two pivotal albums, "Reasonable Doubt" and "The Blueprint." Similarly, his recent Philadelphia concert served as a broad career retrospective, enriched by collaborations with The Roots and featuring appearances by local talent like Jazmine Sullivan and Beanie Sigel, highlighting the city's vibrant culture.

These shows build upon the successful and critically lauded Philadelphia concert, where his collaboration with The Roots was praised for its synergy and spontaneous precision in weaving together various tracks from his discography. The commitment to delivering a labor of love for his audience was evident, promising an unforgettable experience for attendees at the forthcoming international engagements.
