JAY-Z is adding two stadium shows to his 30-year anniversary run.
The rapper and Roc Nation announced new JAŸ-Z 30 concerts for Paris and Los Angeles on June 9. People reported that the Paris show is scheduled for Sept. 10 at Stade de France, while the Los Angeles show is set for Oct. 23 at SoFi Stadium.
The shows extend a 2026 live schedule already built around JAY-Z’s catalog, including summer dates at Yankee Stadium tied to Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint.
The announcement also keeps the restored “JAŸ-Z” styling in place. People reported that he brought the umlaut back while promoting the anniversary shows, pointing back to the way his name appeared during the Reasonable Doubt era.

Reasonable Doubt, JAY-Z’s debut studio album, was released in 1996. The Blueprint followed in 2001. The first album turns 30 in 2026, while The Blueprint reaches its 25-year mark.

His last solo studio album was 4:44 in 2017. People reported that he released Everything Is Love, his collaborative album with Beyoncé, in 2018.
