Jesus another huge star coming to Lincoln, NE? This year we get Kendrick, Lorde, Jay-Z, The Weeknd. I have no idea how they're fucking doing it.
Checked out the Citi presale and tickets are pretty expensive for this. $140-$250 for any decent seats. Not sure I can swing that unfortunately.
Not completely true. His last solo headlining tour he has Timberland but that wasn't an opener. But before that he did Stadium tours with Beyoncé, Justin Timberlake and Eminem. Only the last one wasn't a combination set. And Watch The Throne, which was the same but arenas. 2009 - N.E.R.D / Wale / one other act 2009 - Caira 2008 - Mary J Blige 2003 - Roc The Mic with 50 Cent and a ton of openers.
Timberland was the DJ in his backing band on the Magna Carter tour. He did get his own "set" though but that was in the middle of Jay's set. The problem with Jay is that he prefers the co-headliner bills rather than a solo tour. He does do at least 1 solo tour for each album release though so if you want to see a long Jay-Z set, don't miss this tour.
The Jay-Z set on the tour with Mary J was almost 2 hours every night and he always closed. It may have been a "co-headliner" but he played a full set for sure.
