It’s rare that a show of this magnitude lives up to its hype, but Kanye and JAY Z actually manage to exceed it. From the Tron-inspired laser show to the hydraulic-powered stages at either end of the ACC to the pyrotechnics, it’s a visual masterpiece. And then, of course, there’s the music.

After the phenomenal success of their chart topping album ‘Watch The Throne’ and hot on the heels of their huge success at the 2012 Grammy Awards, winning the award for ‘Best Rap Performance’ for their track ‘Otis’, Kanye West and JAY Z’s collaboration ‘The Throne’ have announced that they will be bringing the tour to Europe this year.

For this project, music icons and pop culture visionaries JAY Z and Kanye West joined their extraordinary talents to form the group ‘THE THRONE’. The longtime friends and music innovators inspired each other to new heights with their collaboration on WATCH THE THRONE recorded together at various locations around the world. Over a year in the making and a truly global affair, the duo recorded in London and Bath in the UK, Abu Dhabi, Sydney, Paris, and New York City. The album features production from The RZA, The Neptunes and Kanye’s longtime collaborator Mike Dean.

Entertainment Weekly declares the track “the most well-executed rap song of the year.”
