JAY-Z Books Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for His Only UK Show of 2026

JAY-Z is coming back to London, and he’s only doing it once. The rapper has announced a show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday 4 September, his single UK date of the year and part of the run of stadium shows marking 30 years since his debut.

The scale of the celebration explains the scarcity. 2026 marks three decades of Reasonable Doubt and 25 years of The Blueprint, the two albums that did the most to shape his legend, and the anniversary shows have been selling accordingly. His back to back Yankee Stadium dates in New York this week sold out, and after London the run moves to the Stade de France in Paris on 10 September, then SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on 23 October.

It’s been a long wait for a proper JAY-Z headline show in the capital. His last full London dates came alongside Beyoncé on the On The Run II tour in 2018, and you have to go back to the Magna Carter World Tour in October 2013 for his last solo stop here.

Tickets went on general sale at 10am on Friday morning through Live Nation and Ticketmaster, following Thursday’s O2 and Virgin Media Priority presales, and demand for a one night only stadium show tends to move quickly. If September’s in your plans, this is not one to sit on.
