Coinciding with Black history month, Beyoncé will launch her new “2023 Renaissance World Tour,” with 41 dates beginning in May that will take her across Europe, Canada, and the United States, finishing in September.
Beyoncé’s first show is scheduled for Stockholm on May 10, followed by a mixture of stadium and arena shows across Europe through June 27. She then returns to North America, where she’ll appear at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada, on July 8, then into America throughout the rest of the summer and into the fall, wrapping up on September 27 with the final show of the tour at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Billboard reported.
Beyoncé performs first full concert in four years
It has been four years since Beyoncé, 41, has performed a full concert live. In 2018, she and husband Jay-Z, 53, appeared at the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 event, People reported.
Last week, Beyoncé was back in the groove of things, fronting her first headlining show since 2018, performing an hour-long set before a star-studded crowd at the new Atlantis The Royal Resort in Dubai.
Beyoncé opened the show by performing a cover of Etta James’ “At Last.” Then she worked her way through a decade’s worth of her iconic hits, performing staples such as “Crazy in Love,” “Naughty Girl,” and “Beautiful Liar,” as well as delivering more recent tunes such as “Spirit,” “Freedom,” and “Be Alive.”
Her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, 11, joined her on stage at one point to perform their duet, “Brown Skinned Girl,” which earned the pair a Grammy two years ago for best music video.
Don’t bother looking on YouTube or social media for any footage of Beyoncé’s comeback show. The filming of her performance by audience members was strictly prohibited.
A score of celebrities flew to the UAE to witness Beyoncé’s return to the concert stage, including Kendall Jenner, Nia Long, and Rebel Wilson, as well as Chlöe x Halle’s Chlöe Bailey and Halle Bailey.
Reality stars were also in attendance, including The Bachelorette’s Tayshia Adams, who attended with her mother, and Siesta Key’s Juliette Porter, who was accompanied by boyfriend Clark Drum, and Love Is Blind’s Deepti Vempati.
