The pair only released their debut album as 'The Throne' last year, but Jay-Z has previously hinted that the second release from his and West's 'Watch The Throne' project will be released this year.

He said of he and West's future plans: "We – I say 'we' because I'm in Throne mode – we're in a great place creatively. You might see a Jay, then Kanye and a Throne album next year… We've really found our zone."

Kanye West/Jay-Z will play:

London O2 Arena (May 20)
Manchester Evening News Arena (June 11)
Birmingham's LG Arena (13)
