Jay-Z brought his JAŸ-Z30 concert series to a close in Los Angeles on October 24, 2026, with a special night at SoFi Stadium featuring surprise appearances from West Coast rap legends Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Too $hort.
The concert marked the final stop of his anniversary celebration, which honors 30 years since the release of his debut album, Reasonable Doubt, in 1996. During the show, Jay-Z performed songs from across his career, giving fans a chance to revisit some of the music that helped establish his place in hip-hop.
One of the night's major moments came when Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre joined him on stage for a run of classic West Coast tracks. Their performance included “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang,” “Still D.R.E.,” “The Next Episode,” “California Love” and “Murder Was the Case.”
Oakland rapper Too $hort also appeared during the concert, performing his hit “Blow the Whistle.” His appearance added another West Coast connection to a show that celebrated different eras and styles of hip-hop.
Beyond the guest performances, Jay-Z used the occasion to address online rumours about the concerts and their attendance. He encouraged the audience to question information circulating online, highlighting the importance of thinking critically in an era shaped by artificial intelligence and misinformation.
The Los Angeles shows followed earlier JAŸ-Z30 concerts in other major cities, including New York, London and Paris. The anniversary project has celebrated Jay-Z's catalogue and influence across three decades, bringing his music back to the stage for longtime fans and a new generation of listeners.
With Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Too $hort joining him for the finale, Jay-Z ended the concert series with a celebration that connected his own career to the wider history of hip-hop.
