New York hip-hop icon JAŸ-Z has added a third summer show at Yankee Stadium titled “JAŸ-Z EXTRA INNINGS.”
The concert is scheduled for Sunday, July 12. General-public tickets went on sale Tuesday at 1 p.m.
A release from Live Nation said the new show was added due to “unprecedented demand” for the first two concerts on July 10 and 11, which celebrated the 30th anniversary of his debut album “Reasonable Doubt” and the 25th anniversary of “The Blueprint,” respectively. Those dates sold out “in minutes,” according to the ticket seller.
The newly re-umlauted rapper and Roc Nation entertainment company founder, who is now officially spelling his name as he did in his early days, has held concerts at Yankee Stadium four times before, according to MLB.com. His first two shows there were double bills with Eminem on Sept. 13 and 14 in 2010, followed by two double bills with Justin Timberlake on July 19 and 20 in 2013.
A longtime Yankees fan, JAŸ-Z also performed his hit “Empire State of Mind” with Alicia Keys at the venue before Game 2 of the World Series in 2009.
