Jay-Z is at it again! The music mogul has inked a multi-year deal with the 19,000-capacity venue to create special programming including festivals, artist performances and showcases, Tidal-related events and an annual concert from Shawn Carter himself.
Jay-Z Inks Another Business Deal With The Barclay Center
Once CEO Jay Z added Roc Nation Sports to the family, he had to part ways with Barclays out of conflict of interest. He left behind his small ownership of the Barclays Center, where he was the first one to perform, and the Brooklyn Nets, the team he brought from New Jersey to his hometown.
That means programs with Rihanna, Kanye West, Victor Cruz, Skylar Diggins, Dez Bryant, Angie Martinez, Big Sean, Fabolous, Meek Mill, Shakira and more are sure to appear. In addition, Jay Z will perform at the Barclays Center annually.
Barclays CEO Brett Yormark said, “This is exciting for us because it goes so much more beyond an artist coming to Barclays as part of a tour.”
