Beyoncé is officially back. After months of fans begging the singer to release some kind of visual accompaniment to her chart-topping seventh studio album Renaissance last July, she’s delivered on at least one aspect of album promo: a tour.

Beyoncé announced the tour on February 1st, which follows her tradition of making major announcements on the first day of Black History Month (remember her instantly iconic pregnancy announcement in 2017?) This announcement also came via a single Instagram post, this one featuring her in a crystal bodysuit sitting atop a mirrored horse, reflecting her original album imagery. The look is a nod to the disco and dance music influences of the project, which will likely be the theme of the tour.

Beyoncé’s last solo outing was the Formation Tour in 2016. She’s also nominated for nine 2023 Grammys, and if she wins four this Sunday she’ll become the most awarded artist in Grammy history.

How can I purchase tickets to the Renaissance Tour?

After Ticketmaster was grilled by Congress following the Taylor Swift ticket debacle last fall, the site is rolling out staggered ticketing for Beyoncé’s shows. Fans can sign up for verified fan programs via Ticketmaster, the official BeyHive site, CITI and Verizon. Signing up for a verified fan entry doesn’t guarantee a ticket, but puts you on a waitlist for when they eventually go on-sale. If there are more interested fans than available tickets (which is highly likely, given the demand for a Beyoncé tour), a lottery system will be used to give verified fans access to the sale. Head to Ticketmaster for a full FAQ on how to purchase tickets.
