Jay-Z is expanding his return to the stage with two newly announced international and West Coast shows, giving fans in Paris and Los Angeles a chance to experience his anniversary celebration live. The rap legend is adding the dates as part of the ongoing recognition of major milestones tied to his classic albums.
The newly announced performances include a show at Stade de France in Paris on September 10 and another at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on October 24. Tickets for both concerts are expected to go on sale June 12 through Ticketmaster, adding even more excitement around Jay-Z’s rare live appearances this year.
These shows follow Jay-Z’s previously announced run at Yankee Stadium in New York, where he is scheduled to perform in July. That series is tied to the anniversaries of two of his most important albums: Reasonable Doubt, which turns 30, and The Blueprint, which turns 25. The Yankee Stadium dates include full-album performances and an additional “Extra Innings” show, making the New York run one of the most significant moments of his 2026 live schedule.
The announcement is especially notable because Jay-Z does not perform live often compared to many of his peers. His appearances have become rare events, making each new date feel like a major moment for fans. By adding Paris and Los Angeles, he is widening the celebration beyond his hometown and bringing the anniversary experience to two major global entertainment markets.
The Paris show also gives Jay-Z a major European stage, while the Los Angeles stop places him in one of the biggest venues on the West Coast. Both locations suggest that the anniversary rollout is being treated as more than a standard concert run—it is being positioned as a large-scale celebration of Jay-Z’s legacy, catalog, and influence.
With Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint still regarded as landmark projects in hip-hop history, these upcoming performances will likely draw longtime supporters as well as newer fans who want to see Jay-Z revisit some of the most important music of his career. As anticipation builds, the Paris and Los Angeles dates add another major chapter to what is shaping up to be a rare and historic live run for Hov.
