Jay-Z is expanding his upcoming performance slate, with the announcement of headlining concerts, dubbed “Jay-Z30,” in Paris and Los Angeles.

On Tuesday (June 9), Roc Nation announced that the Grammy Award-winning artist will perform in Paris at Stade de France on Thursday, Sept. 10, and another concert at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on Friday, Oct. 23.

Tickets for Jay-Z’s Paris and Los Angeles shows will be available beginning Thursday, June 11 through Citi and Mastercard presales. The general on-sale will begin Friday, June 12 at 10 a.m. local time via Live Nation.

Hov’s stops in Paris and Los Angeles will follow his recent appearance at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia. In May, the 56-year-old headlined the annual Roots Picnic. Backed by the Roots, Jay-Z turned his set into a mini Roc-A-Fella Records reunion, bringing out Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Young Chris, and other former collaborators to perform classics from their respective catalogs. However, the most discussed moment of the show was Jay-Z’s a cappella freestyle, in which he responded to slights and jabs from multiple alleged targets, including former business partner Damon Dash, Drake, Kanye West, and Nicki Minaj.

JAŸ-Z will also perform three shows at Yankee Stadium on the weekend of July 10, with the first concert scheduled for Friday, the second for Saturday, July 11, and a finale show on Sunday, July 12. Roc Nation initially announced two shows, but later added a third date in response to overwhelming demand after the first run of tickets sold out.

The Brooklyn native’s spate of shows comes amid the lead-up to milestone anniversaries for his debut album, Reasonable Doubt, which turns 30 on June 25, and his sixth studio album, Blueprint, which turns 25 on Sept. 11.

Watch Green Day Clown on and Inspire a Band in ‘Nimrods’ Movie Trailer

They could be the “Anal O.G. Dogs” or they could be the “Analog Dogs,” but either way doesn’t matter since these teens got the improbable opportunity to open for Green Day on New Year’s Eve based on a demo tape. That’s the gist of the trailer for Nimrods: A Green Day Comedy, a road-trip movie in which not everything goes smoothly. It opens Aug. 14. Filmmaker Lee Kirk, who wrote and directed the picture, based the story on Green Day’s salad days when they toured in a van before Dookie made them world famous.

“It’s about the experience that Green Day had on the road in the early days of more of a DIY spirit,” Armstrong told The Hollywood Reporter last September when the film premiered with the title New Years Rev at the Tribeca Film Festival. “We played anywhere and everywhere, and a lot of shows would get shut down because the cops would come. But there’s also the mud fight that happened at Woodstock. Lee did a great job of incorporating all of those elements that we’ve had in the past.”

Billy Ray Cyrus Reveals He Suffered Temporary Vocal Paralysis After a Near-Fatal Battle With Sepsis

Billy Ray Cyrus has a lot to celebrate with his new album, The Hill, arriving on June 16, but he had other hills to conquer, including a health crisis, before reaching this point. In a new interview, he revealed that he suffered a near-fatal experience with sepsis in 2024. He noted how the health crisis led to a subsequent diagnosis of temporary vocal paralysis.

In his interview with People, Cyrus didn’t disclose too many details about the health scare, but said he was diagnosed with the condition back in 2024 and consequently faced vocal paralysis, describing the bout as a “very broken moment of my life.” He called his bounce-back a “miracle” crediting his grandson Bear (the 5-year-old son of Braison Cyrus) for helping him see the light in a dark time.

“You can’t control me/Unless you owe me/And you don’t own me/Unless I blow you,” White shouts on “Dollar Bill” just after the track launches into an erratic, bluesy guitar solo. The single is the third track to be shared as a preview for the record, following “Derecho Demonico” and “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs,” both released earlier this year.

Sturgill Simpson’s ‘Got That Hunter Biden Energy’ — and Hunter’s a Fan

Sturgill Simpson’s latest album as Johnny Blue Skies, Mutiny After Midnight, is a disco-fried country rock meditation on all things sex and politics. It offers up the theory that sex is the cure for all that ails us, as individuals and as a society, and does so with genuine sincerity, but also lots of freaky little jokes and one-liners. One of the funniest appears on “Make America Fuk Again,” the album’s opener and thesis statement, in which Simpson drawls, “I’m a sensitive boy when push comes to shove/I got that Hunter Biden energy/I’ll make a hooker fuck around and fall in love.”
