Jay-Z closed his yearlong JAŸ-Z30 celebration on Saturday, October 24, 2026, with the second of two sold-out nights at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. The guest list leaned local: Too $hort surfaced early for “Blow the Whistle” with a shoutout to the Bay Area, and Snoop Dogg followed for “Murder Was the Case”.

Dr. Dre then arrived for a medley including “The Next Episode”, “California Love” and “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang”. Jay-Z also made room for Nipsey Hussle in the late rapper’s hometown, calling him “Nip the great” and putting his image onscreen.

During “Encore”, Jay-Z responded to social media chatter that the stadium was empty and that tickets had been given away, telling the crowd to “question everything”.

The run marked 30 years of Reasonable Doubt and 25 years of The Blueprint. It began with a standalone headlining set at Philadelphia’s Roots Picnic in late May and included an eight-episode HBO docuseries built around his catalog, followed by three consecutive sold-out nights at Yankee Stadium in July, London and Paris in September, and the SoFi opener on October 23 with John Legend, DJ Khaled, Scarface and Blue Ivy Carter.
