Jay-Z & Kanye West Set To Hit London's O2 Arena - Tickets Still Available

Hip-hop heavyweights Jay-Z and Kanye West will be kicking off their Watch the Throne UK and Ireland tour tonight, which includes dates in, London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Dublin.
The pair of superstars have had massive success with their collaborative album 'Watch the Throne', and have been touring the record worldwide since October last year, two months after its release. Originally scheduled for 23 performances, the tour ended up hitting up 34 venues in the US alone – and is now ready to tear up London's O2 Arena tonight.
The tour stays in London for five nights, before West and Jay-Z set off for mainland Europe for shows in Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Belgium, Germany and finally Ireland (for two shows in the Dublin O2 Arena), before they finally return to the UK.
They'll then put on two shows in Manchester's Manchester Arena, before heading to Birmingham's LG Arena. Then, before a gig in Sheffield's Sheffield Arena and another night in the LG, they'll head out to Holland, Germany and France, completing their European tour.
If you're looking to attend one of their epic shows, you're in for a real treat – you can expect a huge set-list, rap classics, new tracks and, of course, their world-beating track 'N*ggas in Paris' – which was requested an incredible 34 times at a gig in Norway and played multiple times at every gig – and some of West and and Jay-Z's best solo tracks.
Basically, if you're a fan of rap and hip-hop, you need to find yourself a one of these gigs. Check the dates and details below to find out when they're coming to a venue near you.
