Beyoncé fans have finally got the news they’ve been waiting for – we’re getting a Renaissance World Tour.
Queen Bey announced the tour on Wednesday (1 February) via her social media. The Renaissance album was released in July 2022 to much acclaim.
The ‘COZY’ singer announced the tour with an image of herself clad in a bejeweled outfit riding a transparent horse. The caption reads: “RENAISSANCEㅤ ㅤWORLD TOUR 2023”
Beyoncé’s first solo tour in over six years will span Europe, the UK, and North America. It will launch in Stockholm on 10 May before arriving in Cardiff seven days later.
From there Beyoncé will be bringing Renaissance to Edinburgh (20 May) and Sunderland (23 May) After a brief stop in Paris Queen Bey will make her way to London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for two performances on the 29 and 30 May.
She will then jump back over to Europe before heading to North America in July. The tour will come to a close on 27 September in New Orleans.
Currently, tickets are listed as being available “soon” for all the tour dates listed so far.
For the North American dates, Verified Fan Registration is open now and closes at different times based on the city. beyonce.livenation.com has exact details as ticketing on sale timelines vary by city.
For all European and Uk dates, people are advised to check local event listings for complete ticket information.
“It’s gonna be hell to get these beyoncé tickets”
The reaction from fans has varied. Many have been elated.
One person tweeted a popular clip from the US version of The Office. In it, Steve Carrell’s Michael Scott urges his colleagues to remain calm while failing to do so himself.
Similar levels of excitement were shared by others.
Others joked that given recent ticketing issues with Taylor Swift and long queues for Madonna tickets, Beyoncé fans were going to encounter similar issues.
“It’s gonna be hell to get these beyoncé tickets,” one person wrote.
Another used a gif of Beyoncé from her music video for ‘Hold Up’ of the singer swinging a large bat with the caption: “If Ticketmaster fucks with our tickets to Beyoncé’s RENAISSANCE World Tour…”
Not that we’d ever really stopped, but Siri, play Renaissance on repeat!
