Beyoncé is coming to town.
The long awaited announcement for the pop superstar’s concert trek for her 2022 album Renaissance is finally upon us.
On Wednesday morning, Beyoncé posted a photo of herself atop a metallic horse on Instagram accompanied by the words, ‘Renaissance World Tour.’
That confirmation that Queen Bey is heading out on the road for the first time since 2018 was followed by the details of individual dates. The tour will kick off in Stockholm, Sweden on May 10 and travel in Europe before a North American run begins in Toronto on July 8. That will be followed by the tour’s first U.S. show at Lincoln Financial Field in South Philadelphia on July 12.
Tour dates were posted Wednesday morning on the singer’s website at tour.beyonce.com.
Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster Verified Fan. Registration is required, but doesn’t guarantee tickets. After registration closes, “a lottery-style process will determine which registered Verified Fans receive a unique access code and which are put on the waitlist,” according to the Beyoncé Ticketmaster site.
For the Philadelphia show, registration is open on beyonce.livenation.com from now until February 16 at 11:59 p.m. there are also registration options for BeyHive fan club members and Citi credit card holders.
The Renaissance tour announcement comes at the start of what is set to be a big Beyoncé week.
She leads the way as the top nomination getter — with nine — at this Sunday’s Grammy Awards. Renaissance, a celebration of Black queer dance music culture is up for album of the year. She’s also nominated for record of the year for her single “Break My Soul.” If she wins four awards, she’ll pass conductor Georg Solti to become the artist who has won the most Grammys of all time.
In 2018, Beyoncé played the Linc with her husband Jay-Z on their joint On The Run Tour II. She also played the Eagles football stadium in 2016 on her Formation tour and the Wells Fargo Center in 2013 on the Mrs. Carter World Tour. She headlined Jay-Z’s Philadelphia music festival Made in America in 2013 and 2015.
