Jay-Z announces new Birmingham show in October
Superstar rapper Jay-Z has announced he will bring The Magna Carta Tour to Birmingham this autumn.
The show comes to the NIA on October 8. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday and are expected to sell out within hours.
The star last appeared in the city along with Kanye West for their Watch The Throne tour to Europe in 2012.
They were at the LG Arena on June 13.
The tour announcement follows a run of successful appearances at stages around the country already this month.
Headlining Wireless, the hip hop icon's performance in London at the weekend saw Jay-Z show the full force of his new album.
After headlining on Saturday night, he brought the festival to a close by sharing a second headline set with Justin Timberlake as they brought their Legends of Summer show to London on Sunday.
Over 40 songs featured in the set in total and Rihanna made a surprise guest appearance, joining Jay-Z for 'Run This Town'.
The tour comes on the back of the rapper achieving his first UK number one album with Magna Carta Holy Grail. His previous highest-charting album was Watch The Thone with Kanye West, which hit number three in 2011.
The album, his 15th, features guest appearances from Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean and Beyonce.
