Beyonce announces first headline tour in seven years

Beyoncé has announced a 43-date world tour to support her 2022 album RENAISSANCE, with performances in Edinburgh, Cardiff, Sunderland, and London. 

The queen herself is set to kick off her world tour in Stockholm in May this year before coming to Cardiff a week later. Other UK dates include stops in Edinburgh on the 20th of May, Sunderland on the 23rd of May, and London on the 29th and 30th of May.

As Beyoncé is one of the biggest artists in the world, with over 49 million monthly listeners on Spotify, and since this is her first tour in seven years, demand for tickets is predicted to be incredibly high. 

RENAISSANCE was considered by many music publications and fans to be one of the best albums of 2022, earning her an impressive nine Grammy nominations. We included it in our roundup of the top ten albums of the year - click or tap here to see what other albums made the list.

You can snag tickets for the tour in one of the many presales - including the O2 Priority presale, which is happening now (at the time of writing), the BeyHive presale, and the venue presale - or the general sale, which starts on Tuesday the 7th of February at 10 am.
