JAY-Z's anniversary run is going stadium-scale and global. He and Roc Nation announced two more JAY-Z 30 shows — Stade de France in Paris on September 10 and SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on October 23 — extending a celebration that started in New York.
The dates
Presales open June 11 through Citi and Mastercard, with the general on-sale the next day, June 12, at 10 a.m. local time via Live Nation. The two stadiums put the run on the same scale as his recent return to the stage, after years in which his live appearances were rare.
The anniversary
JAY-Z 30 carries a 30th-anniversary theme across his 2026 run, with his New York dates built around milestones like Reasonable Doubt, the 1996 debut that laid the foundation for everything Roc Nation became, and The Blueprint. The branding even restores the umlaut spelling of his name, a nod to the era. This is a catalog victory lap from an artist who now operates at the ownership layer of the business.
The play
Paris and Los Angeles turn a New York anniversary into a global one, and the stadium bookings signal confidence that demand stretches well past his home market. For an artist who spent the last several years building Roc Nation rather than touring, the anniversary is the rare moment he steps back onto the stage himself.
