"JAŸ-Z will celebrate the anniversaries of two albums - 30 years of his 1996 debut LP, Reasonable Doubt, and 25 of 2001's The Blueprint - at a pair of NYC shows this summer. He'll play Yankee Stadium on Friday, July 10 and Saturday, July 11. 7/10 is labeled as "JAŸ-Z 30" and 7/11 is "JAŸ-Z 25.""
"This announcement comes the day after it was revealed that JAŸ-Z would headline the 2026 edition of Roots Picnic, alongside The Roots. It also comes as JAŸ-Z's name began appearing stylized with an umlaut on his social media, DSPs, and in the Roots Picnic flyer, as it was on the cover of Reasonable Doubt."
"JAŸ-Z's last live appearance was when he joined Beyoncé to wrap up her Cowboy Carter tour in Paris on "Crazy in Love," "Drunk in Love," and "Ni**as In Paris" last year. His last festival performance was a surprise 2019 appearance at Pharrell's Something in the Water fest in Virginia Beach."
JAŸ-Z announced two special performances at Yankee Stadium on July 10 and 11, 2025, commemorating the 30th anniversary of his 1996 debut album Reasonable Doubt and the 25th anniversary of his 2001 album The Blueprint. The announcement follows news that he will headline the 2026 Roots Picnic alongside The Roots. JAŸ-Z has been reviving his classic era, with his name now stylized with an umlaut across social media and streaming platforms, matching the original Reasonable Doubt cover. Recent releases include the original version of "Dead Presidents" on streaming services and a new video for "Wishing on a Star" featuring Gwen Dickey. His last live performance was joining Beyoncé during her Cowboy Carter tour finale in Paris in 2024.
