JAY-Z marked thirty years since Reasonable Doubt with his only UK dates of the year, two nights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September 2026.
JAY-Z, who founded Roc-A-Fella Records to release his own debut album, played two nights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 September 2026. They were his only UK dates of the year.
Shawn Carter was born in Brooklyn in 1969 and grew up in the Marcy Projects, writing rhymes as a teenager that no label would take. He founded Roc-A-Fella with two friends and released Reasonable Doubt in 1996.
The Blueprint, The Black Album, Watch the Throne, made with Kanye West, and 4:44 followed over the next two decades. He has won 25 Grammy Awards, ran Def Jam as its president and entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.
Roc Nation, his company, manages artists and athletes. He set up the Shawn Carter Foundation with his mother in 2002 to put students through college, and co-founded REFORM Alliance to campaign on probation reform. He is married to Beyoncé.
The tour, titled 30, marked 30 years since Reasonable Doubt, and both nights were framed around that debut.
