Get in formation because Beyoncé is going on tour.
Queen Bey announced her 2023 Renaissance World Tour on Feb. 1, and, of course, she broke the news in a way that was truly ***flawless.
Taking to Instagram, Beyoncé posted a picture of herself wearing a sparkly silver ensemble and matching cowgirl hat as she sat on a metallic steed and the name of the tour appeared above.
Looking to check up on the concert details? According to a press release, Beyoncé will kick off the tour in Europe—starting in Stockholm, Sweden—in May before heading to North America—first Canada and then the United States—in July. Philadelphia, Nashville, Chicago, Boston, Atlanta, Miami, New Orleans and her hometown of Houston are among the U.S. cities she'll be visiting during her 40 shows. According to the release, ticketing will begin Feb. 6, with an exclusive presale for BeyHive members.
If you're getting déjà vu and trying to remember the last time Beyoncé went on tour, it was in 2018 with husband Jay-Z for their On the Run II Tour, which came just a few months after her iconic Coachella performance earlier that year. However, this is her first solo tour in more than six years, with her last one being The Formation World Tour in 2016.
In fact, it's been a minute since Beyoncé has taken the stage in general. On Jan. 21, she sang at the Atlantis The Royal Grand Reveal Weekend in Dubai, marking her first show since 2018, when she performed at the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100.
Bey released her latest album Renaissance, the first act of a three-part project, in July. And not only was it met with a lot of love from fans, but it also received a total of nine nominations at the 2023 Grammys, including Album of the Year. Tracks "Break My Soul," "Cuff It" "Virgo's Groove" and "Plastic Off the Sofa" also received nods. And with the success of her new album, Beyoncé is now tied with Jay-Z for most Grammy nominations in history with 88 overall.
