JAŸ-Z 30 London Kick Off Sold Out Night One at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
JAŸ-Z 30 London Kick Off Sold Out Night One at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with Sir Idris Elba, Giggs, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and DJ Khaled.
On Friday 4 September JAŸ-Z kicked off his two-night London run delivering a landmark sold out opening night to fans in North London.
Sir Idris Elba set the stage with his intro which famously opened JAŸ-Z’S 2007 American Gangster album. JAŸ-Z seamlessly transitioned into “Pray” before moving through fan favorites including "BAM," "Beach Is Better,” and "On To The Next One.” In addition to Sir Idris Elba, special guest appearances included Giggs, DJ Khaled, Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean.
DJ Khaled entered the stage for “God Did” and Giggs performed his breakout hit “Talking The Hardest.” Ms. Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean of The Fugees surprised the crowd with classic hits “Ready Or Not,” “Killing Me Softly” and “Fu-Gee-La.”
JAŸ-Z continued to wow the crowd with other iconic tracks including “Jigga What, Jigga Who,” “Run This Town,” “Hard Knock Life,” and more before taking a brief intermission to give a special shoutout to his wife, Beyoncé, who was in attendance, celebrating her birthday on the night of his performance. In her honor, a spectacular burst of fireworks erupted around the stadium, catching concert-goers completely by surprise and turning the moment into something truly unforgettable. JAŸ-Z closed out the evening with "Numb/Encore.”
Sir David Beckham, Cynthia Erivo, Michael B Jordan, Jordan Dunn, Olivia Dean, Rick Rubin, Thomas Tuchel, Dave, Viddal Riley, AJ Odudu and Kano were among the star-studded guests spotted in attendance to celebrate the monumental occasion.
The celebration continues with JAŸ-Z’s second London performance at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 5 September.
