One day after announcing a Reasonable Doubt-themed headlining set at the 2026 Roots Picnic, Roc Nation has revealed that Jay-Z will play two hometown shows at Yankee Stadium in celebration of his debut album along with 2001’s The Blueprint. The shows take place on two consecutive nights this summer; July 10 is reserved for Reasonable Doubt, July 11 for The Blueprint.
Outside of assisting on the Super Bowl LIX halftime show (which earned him an Emmy nomination) and making a cameo appearance at a 2025 Cowboy Carter tour stop in Paris, Jay has been quiet on the live music front for years. He performed at Tom Brady’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony in 2024 and at the Grammys in 2023, but his last big solo tour was in 2017. He also split top billing with Beyoncé on the OTR II tour in 2018.
