It’s been only 10 days since Jay-Z dropped his 13th studio album, "4:44," on Tidal, but the internet has already sufficiently addressed and analyzed which lyrics are in response to Beyoncé's “Lemonade” and moved on to anticipating the announcement of tour dates.
With this in mind, Jay-Z made a lot of fans happy Monday with the announcement of a 31-stop North American tour that will kick off in October. It's definitely good news for a lot of fans – except for those in Philly.
Unfortunately for local Hova fans, our city is missing from the list of concert dates, as the tour skips straight from New York on Nov. 26 to Washington, D.C., on the 29th. For the truly committed, you're going to have to do some footwork to see him perform songs from "4:44," at least in this upcoming fall tour.
We can’t complain too much, though, because Jay-Z will be in town for Labor Day weekend during the annual Made in America festival, which he’s co-headlining with J. Cole and The Chainsmokers. His sister-in-law Solange will also be performing, as well as Kaskade, Little Dragon and dozens of other artists during the two-day event.
You can check out the full tour dates below for the "4:44" tour, but, well, you'll probably be disappointed.
