Jay-Z will support U2 on their Australian tour, according to reports.

The hip-hop star and music mogul is rumoured to be U2's special guest when they hit Australia and New Zealand later this year.

Tour promoters Live Nation are yet to confirm the news, but Gigwise reports that the official announcement will be made shortly before tickets go on sale on September 3.

U2's Australian jaunt kicks off in Auckland on November 25 and wraps up in Perth on December 18.

Earlier this year, the group were forced to postpone their world tour and cancel their Glastonbury slot after frontman Bono had emergency surgery on his back.
