The series announcement comes on the back of a notable year for Jay-Z. He’s been plotting celebrations in honor of the 30th and 25th anniversaries of two of his most revered albums, ‘Reasonable Doubt’ and ‘The Blueprint,’ respectively, with a series of shows and activations across the globe.
According to the outlet, Jay Z made his grand return to the stage in May as a headliner at the Roots Picnic, where he revisited hits and deep cuts from his discography. The show was a celebration of both his career and the city of Philadelphia, with guests that included Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Memphis Bleek, Jazmine Sullivan, Bilal and Young Gunz.
In July, he will take over Yankee Stadium for three nights to honor his anniversary milestones. On July 10, he’ll celebrate “Reasonable Doubt,” followed by “The Blueprint” the next night. On July 12, he’ll close the weekend with a finale that sees him revisiting the hits, reported Variety.
Additionally, Jay-Z announced a pair of “Jay-Z 30” concerts for the fall, one in Paris on September 10 and another in Los Angeles on October 23. (ANI)
