J. Cole is taking it back to 2014. On Friday, the rap star announced that he’ll host a one-night-only show at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Dec. 16 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of his seminal album, 2014 Forest Hills Drive.
Fans with presale access will be able to access tickets to the MSG show starting on Monday, Dec. 2, at 10 a.m. ET, before tickets go on sale to the general public on Dec. 4 at 10 a.m. ET. “2014 Forest Hills Drive 10 year anniversary show. Madison Square Garden. Pre-sale Monday. On sale Wednesday,” he wrote on Instagram.
Along with the upcoming show, Cole is marking the anniversary with the release of a special repressing of the project, out now, featuring four unreleased songs “that nearly made the album.” The four new tracks include “Home Soon,” “Die Together,” Judgement Day,” and “Winter Wonderland.”
Cole dropped Forest Hills on Dec. 9, 2014, and saw it reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Following its release, he dropped singles “Wet Dreamz,” “No Role Modelz,” and “Love Yourz.” The LP’s title was inspired by the address of a home in North Carolina where Cole lived until 2003.
The show announcement comes a day after he released his mixtape, Friday Night Lights, on streaming services for the first time since it dropped in 2010. The project, which featured collaborations with Wale and Drake, also served as the name for the newest episode of Cole’s audio series, Inevitable, which dropped an episode earlier in the week.
“This is a very special moment for me. Been waiting patiently for this day, like a lot of yall have,” Cole wrote of the mixtape on Instagram Thursday. “I wanna say Thank you to everybody out there that kept these projects alive, even during all the years they were not on streaming services, especially this project right here.”
Earlier this week, Cole also announced the fifth edition of his iconic Dreamville Festival, which will return to Raleigh on April 5 and 6. Last year, SZA, Nicki Minaj, 50 Cent, ScHoolboy Q, and Rae Sremmurd performed, with a host of guest appearances including Central Cee and Lil Durk.
