Jay-Z announces second London show and fans are certain Beyoncé’s joining him on stage - here's how to get those in-demand tickets

If you missed out on Jay-Z tickets the first time around, you’re getting another shot at a chance to see him live.

After fans snapped up tickets for Jay-Z’s long-awaited return to the UK, a second London date has now been added to the schedule.

The rap icon will now perform another JAŸ-Z30 show at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 5 September, with tickets going on general sale on 30 July 2026. That’s tomorrow.

That means there’s another chance to see one of hip-hop’s greatest ever artists live.

If demand for the first show is anything to go by, you’ll want to be ready the second tickets go live for Jay-Z's (or JAŸ-Z as he's now styling his name) extra London date.

The extra date comes after the original Friday 4 September show proved hugely popular, so if you want to get your hands on Jay-Z tickets, here’s everything you need to know and how to maximise your chances.

When is Jay-Z going on tour?

Jay-Z's 2026 shows celebrate two huge milestones in his career: 30 years since the release of his landmark debut album Reasonable Doubt and 25 years since The Blueprint.

The London shows are part of a limited run of anniversary performances celebrating his impressive back catalogue.

His UK dates are:

• Friday 4 September 2026 – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London

• Saturday 5 September 2026 – Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London (new date)

If you were unlucky when tickets first went on sale, this newly announced second date could be your best chance of seeing him live without paying resale prices.

When do Jay-Z tickets go on sale?

Tickets for the newly announced Saturday 5 September show go on general sale on Thursday 30 July 2026 at 10am.

If you're planning on buying tickets, it's worth logging into your Ticketmaster account ahead of the sale start time, making sure your payment details are saved and joining the online queue early.

Demand is expected to be extremely high after the first London date proved so popular, so every second counts once tickets are released.

How much are Jay-Z tickets?

Official pricing for the new date hasn’t changed since the first Tottenham Hotspur Stadium show so you can expect Jay-Z tickets for the Saturday to match the previous date.

Prices are expected to start from approximately:

• Seated tickets: from around £95

• Pitch standing: from around £150

As always, VIP packages and premium seats will cost more.

If you're flexible about where you sit, opting for standard seating usually gives you the best chance of checking out successfully before the cheapest tickets disappear.

How to improve your chances of getting Jay-Z tickets

We've all been there.

You've got multiple tabs open, you've refreshed the page one too many times and suddenly you're staring at an error message while everyone else seems to be posting their confirmation emails.

While there's no guaranteed way to beat the queue, there are a few tricks that can help:

• Log into your Ticketmaster account well before tickets go live.

• Save your payment details in advance.

• Make sure you're using a reliable internet connection.

• Join the waiting room as early as possible if one opens.

• Avoid refreshing the page once you're in the queue, as this can sometimes send you to the back.

• Have a backup seating option in mind in case your first choice sells out.

It sounds simple, but being prepared before 10am is often the difference between checking out and watching the spinning loading icon for half an hour.

Where can you buy Jay-Z tickets?

Tickets for the newly announced Saturday show will be available through the official ticketing partner when they go on sale on 30 July.

If you miss out, keep an eye on official resale platforms, although prices are likely to increase once the show sells out.

If you're happy to attend on Friday 4 September, there are still a limited number of tickets available at the time of writing, making that the safest option if you don't want to leave things to chance.

Will Beyoncé make a surprise appearance?

It's the question plenty of fans are already asking.

Nothing has been announced officially, and there's been no confirmation that Beyoncé will appear during either London show.

However, fans certainly have their reasons for hoping.

The couple famously toured together on the hugely successful On The Run tours, while Beyoncé has featured on several Jay-Z tracks over the years, including '03 Bonnie & Clyde and Crazy in Love.

Jay-Z has also made surprise appearances during Beyoncé's own concerts, so the pair have a long history of popping up during one another's live shows.

Adding even more fuel to the rumours, Beyoncé recently made a surprise appearance during one of Jay-Z's anniversary performances at Yankee Stadium, joining him on stage for Drunk In Love.

Fans online have already begun speculating that we could be in for the same treat in the UK. Especially as it's Beyoncé's birthday on 4 September, the date of Jay-Z's first London tour date.

Of course, at this stage it's purely speculation, but if there's one thing we've learned from huge stadium concerts, it's that surprise guests are never completely off the table.

Either way, it's shaping up to be one of the biggest UK concerts of the year, and with Jay-Z celebrating three decades of one of the most influential careers in hip-hop, demand isn't expected to slow down anytime soon.
