Try not to panic – Bey is coming to a city near you in the Spring with her Renaissance tour! Beyoncé took to social media on the 1st February to announce her eighth concert tour that will span from mid-May until the end of September with 43 dates in total.
The tour will start in Europe, with the first date being held in Sweden, and then move to Canada before finishing in the US, with the last date being held in New Orleans. UK fans will be thrilled to hear that the tour includes five UK dates meaning they’ll be plenty of opportunities to see Queen Bey live.
The legendary singer first dropped hints for the tour in October when the raffle at the Wearable Art Gala included a unique experience to see her on the Renaissance tour.
The tour will be her first since 2018 when she co-headlined the On the Run II Tour with her husband Jay-Z to support their collaborative album, Everything Is Love, and her first headline tour since 2016 when she toured her previous solo album Lemonade with the Formation World Tour.
Beyoncé returned to the stage for her first complete concert in over two years last month when she performed at a private show in Dubai for journalists and influencers. No new material was played during the show meaning the tour will be the first time songs from Renaissance are heard live.
Renaissance was released on the 29th July last year and is the star’s seventh studio solo LP and the first instalment in a trilogy of albums. Joyful, packed with escapism, and with a strong danceability factor, it was praised by fans and critics alike as one of the best albums of 2022 and is certified platinum.
Tickets can be found on Beyoncé’s website and will go on sale for the European leg at 9 am on the 2nd Feb for the UK dates, the 7th Feb for the Germany, Poland, Sweden and Netherlands dates, and the 10th Feb for the Belgium and Spain dates.
