Jay-Z Wraps "Jay-Z 30" Concert Series at SoFi Stadium
The yearlong celebration of three decades since his debut album concluded with two sold-out shows in Inglewood, featuring Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
Jay-Z concluded his "Jay-Z 30" concert series on Saturday, October 24, 2026, with a performance at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, according to Variety. The series marked 30 years since the release of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt, on June 25, 1996. The final two Los Angeles-area shows were sold out, with the second night featuring guest appearances by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Too Short.
During the finale, Jay-Z, a 25-time Grammy winner, took the stage around 9:25 p.m. local time for an hour and a half performance. He opened with "The Watcher 2" and wore a Yankees cap and sunglasses, changing outfits multiple times, Variety reported. Too Short joined for "Blow the Whistle," while Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre performed a medley of hits including "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang," "Still D.R.E," and "California Love." Jay-Z also paid tribute to the late Nipsey Hussle, a gesture he made on the first night as well.
His set list included tracks like "Izzo (H.O.V.A.)," "Empire State of Mind," and "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)." During "Encore," Jay-Z addressed social media comments about the stadium not being sold out, encouraging the audience to trust their own observations, according to Variety. The concert series began with a headlining set at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia in late May.
Notable attendees at the Los Angeles finale included Lizzo, Kelly Rowland, Vanessa Bryant, and Jessica Alba, Variety reported. The first SoFi show on October 23 included guests such as Jay-Z's daughter Blue Ivy Carter, Scarface, DJ Khaled, and John Legend. This final stop follows other sold-out dates in cities like New York, London, and Paris.
