Just announced this morning JAY-Z and Kanye West confirm the most anticipated album and touring event of the year. The tour will include 3 Canadian dates. They’ll be in Vancouver on December 18, 2011 at Rogers Arena. The two hip-hop icons will grace the stage in what will be one of the best concerts of 2011 and I have a feeling tickets will go fast. I’ve seen both individually and definitely plan on going to see them both on stage at the same time.

Here is some info you may like to know.
