Beyoncé has finally confirmed — in a very low-key way — that she’s embarking on a 2023 tour, months after releasing ‘Renaissance,’ her first solo album in six years.

The stadium tour kicks off in May in cities across Europe and the U.S.
Get ready for your soul (or at least your bank account) to be broken. Queen Bey is coming to a city near you soon. More than six months after releasing Renaissance, her first solo studio album in six years, Beyoncé finally announced the Renaissance World Tour, sharing the poster on Instagram and posting the tour dates on her website on Feb. 1. The stadium jaunt will kick off in May in Sweden, with dates currently confirmed across Europe and North America.
The Renaissance World Tour will mark Beyoncé’s first live shows in five years — aside from the extravagant private show she played in Dubai on Jan. 21 for the grand re-opening of the Atlantis resort, for which she was reportedly paid around $24 million. Naturally, demand has proven to be enormous, leading Bey to add more shows across the U.S. and Europe. She last co-headlined the On The Run II Tour with her husband Jay-Z in 2018. The singer was rumored to have planned a tour in 2020 to promote The Lion King: The Gift and its accompanying Black Is King film, but dates were inevitably scrapped due to lockdown. Her last solo outing was the Formation World Tour in 2016.
In October, the “CUFF IT” singer indicated — in a very low-key way — that she would embark on a 2023 world tour to promote her seventh studio album.
