Jay-Z to Celebrate ‘Reasonable Doubt’ and ‘The Blueprint’ Anniversaries With Back-to-Back Yankee Stadium Concerts

Jay-Z is planning to celebrate the anniversaries of two of his most celebrated albums — “Reasonable Doubt” and “The Blueprint” — with back-to-back concerts at Yankee Stadium this summer.

The rapper will honor the 30th anniversary of “Reasonable Doubt” with a show on July 10, followed by a second show celebrating the 25th anniversary of “The Blueprint” on July 11. The announcement of the Yankee Stadium shows comes amid speculation that he was plotting major moments pegged to the anniversaries over the past few months.

Just yesterday, Jay-Z was named as a headliner for the Roots Picnic, taking place on May 30. It will mark his grand return to the stage for the first time nearly a year after popping up as a guest at his wife Beyoncé’s final international date on her “Cowboy Carter” tour in Paris. At Roots Picnic 2026, taking place from May 30-31, Jay-Z will perform alongside the Roots, marking the first time they’ve played together in over a decade.

Jay-Z has been on something of a promotional rollout for the anniversaries after fans noticed that his name had been changed to JAŸ-Z on streaming services, calling back to the stylization he used for “Reasonable Doubt.” In the past few weeks, he put the original version of “Dead Presidents” on streaming and dropped the video for “Wishing on a Star” featuring Gwen Dickey on YouTube.

Rumors have been circulating that Jay-Z has been working on a new album, as several of his collaborators hinted at it during recent interviews. Rapper Cash Cobain had to walk back his claim of a new album on social media after Jay-Z told him he’s “absolutely not dropping an album” anytime soon.
