On Monday morning, Jay-Z announced an extensive North American tour on the heels of the release his new album 4:44. The 31-date tour will begin and end in the Los Angeles area. It kicks off in Anaheim, California on October 27 with a show at the Honda Center and closes out on December 21 at the Forum in Inglewood.
The singer's 13th studio album was released on June 30 and has received largely rave reviews ("This late-career gem is personal and diamond-sharp, confronting the failings and legacy of Shawn Carter and America," according to Pitchfork; the L.A. Times called it "a collection of songs--sly but moving, both intricate and lucid--that we’ll be coming back to for years.").
The 4:44 tour is Jay-Z's first installment in a 10-year touring deal with Live Nation, according to Variety. Tickets for the general public will go on sale starting Friday, July 14 at 10 a.m. local time and will be available on LiveNation.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help.

LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
