Overview
- Justin Timberlake joined Jay-Z on Thursday, Sept. 10, at Stade de France to perform “Holy Grail” and then sang his ballad “Until the End of Time.”
- Pharrell Williams also appeared during the Paris show and performed multiple Jay-Z collaborations including “Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me)” and “Excuse Me Miss.”
- The Paris concert was part of Jay‑Z30, the 30th‑anniversary run marking Reasonable Doubt, and continues a pattern of sold‑out stadium nights that feature surprise guest cameos.
- Those surprise moments have become the tour’s defining tactic because they create distinct, newsworthy events that sustain media attention and raise expectations for similar surprises at the Oct. 23–24 SoFi Stadium dates.
- The appearances build on a long collaboration history between Jay‑Z and Timberlake that includes their 2013 hits and the Legends of the Summer tour while highlighting Jay‑Z30’s catalog‑spanning focus on legacy and cross‑genre partnerships.
