To help celebrate the reopening of New York’s Webster Hall later this month, hip-hop legend Jay-Z has announced that he plans to serve up a special B-sides concert.
This will be Jigga’s first time playing the iconic venue in Manhattan’s East Village, which first opened in 1886, MSN reports. Webster Hall recently underwent extensive renovation to “preserve the iconic features of the venue, while modernizing it to meet today’s entertainment and guest experiences standards,” according to a statement.

“In renovating one of New York’s most historic and iconic venues, our goals were simple and straightforward; maintain the integrity of the space, modernize it to create an incredible concert experience for fans and performers, and book a dynamic mix of artists in music today,” Jay Marciano, chairperson and CEO of AEG Presents, said in a news release Monday. “Today’s announcement of JAY-Z to open Webster Hall, along with an eclectic line-up of artists throughout its opening month, achieves all of those goals positioning the venue to continue its success for decades to come.”
