The show will see Jay-z showcase songs from his forthcoming album 'The Blueprint 3' set for release on Monday 14th September. Jay-Z's brand new single 'Run This Town' is out this week and features both Rihanna and Kanye West.
In the US, the record drops on Friday 11th September, exactly 8 years to the day since the release of the first Blueprint album and also marks the anniversary of the New York September 11 bombings. "The trilogy has come full circle", says Jay Z. "Blueprint encompasses the essence of those that influenced me. It pays homage to the soul music our parents played."
He goes on to say, "musically the album recognises that there is a generation of us that are influencing the next wave of artists. The album lays the groundwork for what can happen next."
Tickets for the special gig at London's Roundhouse Theatre will go on sale at 9:00am, Friday 4th September and eGigs will have links to buy them then.
Jay Z will also play a string of live dates with Coldplay in September, starting in Manchester, followed by Glasgow and two dates in London at Wembley Stadium.
