Seven years after her last tour took the world by storm, Beyoncé is finally ready to perform live in front of the Beyhive again. She will soon embark on the Renaissance World Tour in support of her Grammy-nominated seventh studio album.

The Renaissance World Tour will kick off with a concert at the Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden on May 10, and Queen B is expected to stay on the road until September 27. The tour will include a total of 41 dates, including 15 in Europe and 26 across North America.

This is Beyoncé’s first world tour since 2016 when she also performed across Europe and North America in support of her album Formation. The all-stadium tour included 49 sold-out shows and grossed a total of $256 million.

Beyoncé announced she’s hitting the road again shortly after delivering her first live performance in years at a private show in Dubai, for which she reportedly received $24 million.

Renaissance was released on July 29, 2022, and Beyoncé announced it as a first installment of a trilogy. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, and produced hit singles “Break My Soul” and “Cuff It”. It’s in the running for nine awards at the upcoming Grammys, including album, song, and record of the year.
