We’ve got “The Blueprint” for your mid-July plans.
Starting July 10, JAŸ-Z is slated to play not one, not two but three (!) huge back-to-back-to-back concerts at the 46,537-seat Yankee Stadium.
Interestingly enough, each gig will be different. On the first two nights, the NYC native will celebrate milestone anniversaries of landmark albums from his storied back catalog. After that, he’ll close the mini Bronx residency with a third and final performance that “will ‘build on the momentum’ of the other two shows.”
To make sure you’re fully in the loop, here’s a closer look at each July JAŸ Yankee Stadium show:
Friday, July 10
Celebrating the 30th anniversary of “Reasonable Doubt”
Saturday, July 11
Celebrating the 25th anniversary of “The Blueprint”
Sunday, July 12
The “extra innings” show
If you’d like to be there, tickets are available for the trio of Hov shows.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one gig was $310 including fees on SeatGeek (that’s for the “extra innings” night).
His other two shows start at $353 and $496 including fees respectively.
This short stint will serve as the “Empire State of Mind” hitmaker’s first performances in the Empire State since a one-off at NYC’s Webster Hall in 2019 (to help the venue re-open after time off due to renovation), two years after his 2017 ‘4:44 Tour.’
According to Set List FM, he performed a 43-song ‘B-Sides 2’ set that evening. Notable tracks to make the cut included fan favorites “Lucifer,” “Allure” and “Public Service Announcement” as well as covers of The Notorious B.I.G., Cam’ron, Meek Mill, The Diplomats and Nas, who joined him onstage.
“I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to duplicate that again,” the 25-time Grammy winner said, Variety reported.
Prior to hitting the Big Apple, Mr. Knowles Sean Carter is scheduled to headline Philadelphia’s two-day Roots Picnic Festival on Saturday, May 30.
Other biggies joining him on the lineup include Erykah Badu, De La Soul, Brandy, T.I. and, fest curators, The Roots.

JAŸ-Z news
In addition to dishing on the Kendrick/Drake dispute in an interview with GQ, Carter also addressed the 2024 civil lawsuit charging him with allegedly sexually assaulting a woman decades ago who chose to remain anonymous.
GQ noted that “the accuser voluntarily dismissed the suit with prejudice just months after it was filed.”
About the accusation, JAŸ-Z told GQ “That whole [lawsuit thing], that s— took a lot out of me. I was angry. I haven’t been that angry in a long time, uncontrollable anger. You don’t put that on someone—that’s a thing that you better be super sure. It used to be like that. You had to be super sure before you put those kind of things on a person. Especially a person like me. Even when we were doing the worst things, we had those kind of rules. There was a line: no women, no kids. You hear those sayings, but those are the things that I took from the street. We lived and died by that. So it’s strict for me, like it meant a lot to me.”
He then added “I took that really hard. I knew that we were going to walk through that because, first of all, it’s not true. And the truth, at the end of the day, still reigns supreme.”
