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.

Times called it "a collection of songs--sly but moving, both intricate and lucid--that we’ll be coming back to for years.").

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.
