Jay-Z is set to celebrate the anniversaries of his seminal albums Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint with a pair of concerts at Yankee Stadium in New York this summer, the rapper’s company Roc Nation confirmed on Wednesday.
The first show celebrates the 30th anniversary of Jay’s debut album Reasonable Doubt and will take place on Friday, July 10, and the second show is set for the following day, July 11, and commemorates the 25th anniversary of The Blueprint. Both records are considered among the greatest rap albums of all time, earning platinum certifications from the RIAA.
Roc Nation didn’t share any details for the shows beyond confirming the dates, only informing fans to “stay tuned” for more information. The news comes a day after Jay-Z was confirmed to headline the upcoming Roots Picnic in Philadelphia in May.
Public performances from Jay-Z have become rarer in recent years, and he hasn’t had a full solo tour since his 4:44 Tour back in 2017. 4:44 is also Jay’s last full-length solo album, though he released Everything Is Love with wife Beyoncé back in 2018 as supergroup The Carters, winning the Grammy for best urban contemporary album. Jay appeared at several stops last year for Beyoncés Cowboy Carter Tour.
Jay-Z has been rumored to be working on new music, though it’s unclear if the iconic rapper has anything else planned for the year, or any more concerts on the books beyond the three he announced this week.
