    Looking forward to this! Watch the Throne was so amazing although I doubt the production will be on the same scale, Jigga man puts on a great show! :D

    I like Jay Z and his latest album is pretty good but that's a fairly pricey gig.

    Fairly pricey but can see myself attending anyway. Probably won't sell out

    Standard price for an artist of his caliber in the o2. Album is pretty poor from what I've heard, but so is everything he's done since coming our of retirement.

    Always puts on a great show though, I'll probably head along.

    Do yez reckon he'd put on a second gig depending on sales? And would it be the Saturday or the Monday based on below dates?

    Danger would be he'd double up in Manchester too leaving Monday the likely second gig if it happened... Not the kind of gig you want to be working the next day for!

    I'll probably end up heading to this. Anyone who saw the Watch the Throne show last June had to have been impressed. For €70 seeing one of the best in the world doing their thing can't really be considered a rip off IMO.

    I wouldn't say there would be a second gig. If him AND Kanye can't sell out two nights I wouldn't say Jay could on his own.

    Probably more likely for Manchester to get a second gig, but if he were it'd be on the Saturday.

    i thought he was unreal, definitely seemed happier than kanye to be there. crowd were definitely more into kanye's solo tracks though.

    timbaland just been added. no idea what he's like live, probably just like a DJ set.

    tickets mustn't be selling well. jay-z is just overexposing himself, he's class but needs to disappear for a few years. his verses on drake's pound cake/paris morton music track is him rapping about the same **** again.

    Surprised this hasn't sold out yet seeing how quick the WTT show sold out. Didn't like the new album at all so I'm hoping the setlist has lots of Blueprint/Black Album on it!

    Will have 4+ Black Album on it (Encore/99 Problems/PSA/DOYS). Will play about 6/7 of Magna Carta though.

    Hopefully he opens with the Dynasty Intro and leaves PSA till later in the gig!!

    What time do people think Jay will finish up at? I'd assume Timbaland is on around 19:00 until 19:45 would it be? Then Jay until about 22:30?

    Jigga killed it obviously. Spectacular show. 1 bad thing was waiting about 2.5 hours after the doors opened until he got onto stage with Timbo which was torture waiting. Was 100% worth the wait though!!

    What a hilariously stupid rumor

    Last night was pretty good imo and not as good as watch the throne...that is until after the Timbo interval it just seemed to go off in spectacular fashion, from front to back side to side everyone on their feet hands in the air (not exaggerating) belting out the hooks etc, very enjoyable and the man himself seemed genuinely blown away

    Looking bad at those, Beach Is Better was great. Played it twice.

    Once he did Niggas In Paris the place went nuts from then-on.

    I'm not sure this "music" is suitable for Catholics.

    You should talk to your local parish priest about it Nigel.
