JAY-Z closed his JAŸ-Z30 anniversary run on October 24 with the second of two sold-out SoFi Stadium shows in Inglewood. Too $hort, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre joined him during a set that spanned his career and featured tributes to Nipsey Hussle. The reported final show capped an anniversary run that had also included dates in New York, London and Paris.
JAY-Z ended his JAŸ-Z30 anniversary run on Saturday, October 24, with a sold-out performance at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, joined onstage by Too $hort, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. The concert was the second of two shows at the venue and the closing date of a run marking anniversaries of his albums Reasonable Doubt and The Blueprint.
According to Consequence’s report, JAY-Z opened the show with “The Watcher 2” and brought out Too $hort for “Blow the Whistle.” The rapper then performed a career-spanning set that included “Izzo (H.O.V.A.),” “Run This Town,” “Dead Presidents,” “99 Problems” and “Dirt Off Your Shoulder.” The setlist placed songs from different points in his catalog alongside guest performances from the evening’s West Coast artists.
Snoop Dogg joined JAY-Z for “Murder Was the Case.” Dr. Dre then joined Snoop for “The Next Episode,” “California Love,” “Nothin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” and “Still D.R.E.” JAY-Z also incorporated music associated with the late Nipsey Hussle into the performance: Consequence reported that elements of “Hussle & Motivate” appeared in “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem),” while the instrumental from “Last Time I Checc’d” was used during “On to the Next One.”
JAY-Z closed the night with “Empire State of Mind,” “Big Pimpin’,” “Public Service Announcement” and “Encore,” according to the report. The SoFi dates followed anniversary shows in New York, London and Paris. The first of the two Inglewood shows, on Friday, had a different guest lineup: Blue Ivy Carter played piano on “The Story of O.J.” and “Dead Presidents,” while Scarface, John Legend and DJ Khaled also appeared.
A West Coast Finale for JAŸ-Z30
The finale brought together artists strongly associated with West Coast hip-hop for the closing night of JAY-Z’s anniversary run. Their appearances turned a career-spanning concert into a cross-regional showcase, with JAY-Z’s catalog sharing the stage with songs closely linked to Dre, Snoop and Too $hort. The set also connected the anniversary performances to Los Angeles through its guest artists and its tribute elements for Nipsey Hussle.
The show’s format matters beyond the guest list: it ended a limited run built around two major album milestones rather than announcing a new tour or release. The reported stops across four cities gave audiences a live retrospective of JAY-Z’s catalog, while the two-night SoFi engagement offered distinct lineups on each evening. The October 24 performance is reported as the run’s final show; the source does not describe it as the final concert of JAY-Z’s career.

Two Albums Behind the Anniversary Run
The JAŸ-Z30 shows marked 30 years since Reasonable Doubt and 25 years since The Blueprint. The concerts drew from both records and from later releases, reflecting the breadth of JAY-Z’s recorded career. Consequence describes the SoFi Stadium engagement as two sold-out shows, with the October 24 date serving as the final night of the anniversary run.
The opening-night guests included Blue Ivy Carter, Scarface, John Legend and DJ Khaled. That lineup differed from the finale’s guest appearances by Too $hort, Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. The two nights therefore featured separate combinations of collaborators and performers rather than repeating the same guest roster.
