Beyoncé finally announces 40-stop Renaissance world tour
The artist confirmed the news via Instagram Wednesday morning before sharing a full list of dates on her website
It appears Joe Biden’s Wednesday announcement that Congress will begin limiting egregious concert ticket fees comes not a moment too soon: this morning, Beyoncé also finally announced a 47-date world tour supporting her Grammy-nominated album, Renaissance. Hear that tapping? It’s the sound of stuffed Ticketmaster queues everywhere being refreshed over and over and over.
Beyoncé confirmed the news on Wednesday morning via her Instagram, where she shared a tour announcement alongside another glittery portrait from her Renaissance album cover photoshoot. Kicking off in Stockholm, Sweden on May 10, the tour’s European leg includes two dates in London—a North American leg kicks off with two dates in Toronto, Ontario on July 8 and 9, respectively.
Swirling excitement for the Renaissance live experience has been at a high for almost six months now, since the July 29, 2022 release of the album drew profound acclaim from critics and fans alike (it was The A.V. Club’s No. 1 album of the year). By the time she heads out on tour, it’s more than likely Beyoncé will also have a few more Grammy nods under her belt—Renaissance saw the artist nominated nine times, bringing her cumulative total nominations to an astounding 88.
