Jay-Z opened his two-night stand at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on September 4 with a tribute to Beyoncé on her 45th birthday, pausing his set to have the sold-out crowd serenade her with “Happy Birthday” as fireworks lit the stadium. Beyoncé watched from a VIP suite and appeared on the venue’s giant screens, blowing kisses to fans.
The show marked Jay-Z’s first UK headline performance in nearly 13 years—his last solo London date was 2013’s Magna Carta World Tour at The O2 Arena. The run celebrates the 30th anniversary of his 1996 debut album Reasonable Doubt and follows a similarly star-studded trio of shows at New York’s Yankee Stadium last month.
Guest performers included DJ Khaled and UK rapper Giggs, who performed his breakout single “Talking the Hardest.” Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean surprised the crowd with Fugees classics including “Ready or Not,” “Killing Me Softly” and “Fu-Gee-La.”
The show drew a heavy celebrity turnout including David Beckham, Cynthia Erivo, Michael B. Jordan, Rick Rubin, Thomas Tuchel, Dave, Olivia Dean, AJ Odudu and Kano. Jay-Z plays a second Tottenham Hotspur date on September 5, followed by performances at Paris’s Stade de France on September 10 and two shows at Los Angeles’s SoFi Stadium in late October.
