Jay-Z and Roc Nation added second stadium performances in London and Los Angeles. The rapper will perform at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sept. 4 and Sept. 5, according to his official website<\/a>. SoFi Stadium shows follow on Oct. 23 and Oct. 24.<\/p>\n

The additions arrived after a three-night run at Yankee Stadium that shattered the venue’s all-time concert attendance records, according to Billboard<\/a>. The Bronx performances made the artist the first to sell out three consecutive shows at the stadium.<\/p>\n

The expanded series marks 30 years since Reasonable Doubt hit stores on June 25, 1996. That debut climbed to No. 23 on the Billboard 200.<\/p>\n

The Yankee Stadium shows drew guests like Beyonc\u00e9, Blue Ivy Carter, Eminem, Pharrell Williams, Rihanna, Fat Joe, Swizz Beatz, and Slick Rick. The first night honored the 30th anniversary of Reasonable Doubt. The second celebrated 25 years of The Blueprint. A third show, called Extra Innings, combined both setlists into one massive performance.<\/p>\n

Before New York, the rapper performed at Roots Picnic in Philadelphia on May 30, according to Billboard<\/a>. That concert marked his first solo headlining performance in years. Guests at that show included Jazmine Sullivan, Bilal, Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Memphis Bleek, and Young Gunz.<\/p>\n

The Sept. 4 London performance falls on Beyonc\u00e9’s 45th birthday. That date also marks the anniversary of her sophomore album B’Day, which dropped Sept. 4, 2006.<\/p>\n

The London shows will be his first solo headline performances in the U.K. in over a decade. The “99 Problems”<\/a> rapper will also perform at Stade de France in Paris on Sept. 10 between the European and California dates.<\/p>\n

An eight-part documentary series titled JA\u0178-Z IN 8 will debut on HBO this fall. Rick Rubin directs the project and interviews the artist about his music, lyrics, life experiences, and creative process.<\/p>\n

Presales for the new dates begin Wednesday, July 29 at 10 a.m. local time. O2 and Virgin Media customers in London get early access, along with Citi cardmembers in Los Angeles. General ticket sales start Thursday, July 30 at 10 a.m. local time at LiveNation.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
