Jay‑Z Closes Two Sold‑Out London Nights With Mini‑Fugees Reunion and Homegrown Guests

The London run confirmed a guest‑driven anniversary format that foregrounds cross‑generational collaborations and propels the tour to Paris on Sept. 10 and Los Angeles in October.

Overview

  • Jay‑Z played two sold‑out JAY‑Z30 concerts at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sept. 4–5 that marked his first UK solo headline dates in nearly a decade.
  • Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean reunited onstage for a three‑song Fugees segment that included 'Ready or Not' and 'Killing Me Softly.'
  • Jay‑Z paused his set on Sept. 4 to lead the stadium in singing 'Happy Birthday' to Beyoncé while fireworks lit the venue and she watched from a VIP suite.
  • Nightly surprise guests gave each show a local flavor with Idris Elba, Giggs and DJ Khaled joining Night 1 and Sampha and Dave appearing on Night 2.
  • The concerts delivered long, career‑spanning setlists and followed a guest‑heavy Yankee Stadium residency in July as the tour moves next to Paris’s Stade de France on Sept. 10 and SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Oct. 23–24.
