Rap mogul Jay-Z on Monday announced a tour across North America, extending his return to music after releasing an introspective and widely acclaimed album.
Jay-Z, who has devoted the past several years to business projects, will open the tour on October 27 in Anaheim, California, and play a total of 31 dates across the US and Canada through December, promoters said in an announcement.
The rapper will preview his tour with two previously announced headlining sets in September — Made in America, a Philadelphia festival that will partially raise money for charity, and The Meadows festival in New York.
Jay-Z last toured in 2014 in a series of shows with his wife, pop superstar Beyonce.
The tour announcement comes 10 days after Jay-Z released his 13th studio album, 4:44, highlights of which include the rapper apologising to Beyonce for infidelity.
