Beyoncé Confirms Renaissance Tour in Summer 2023

Beyoncé’s Renaissance album was released in July of this year. After 3 long years since her last project, “The Lion King: The Gift,” fans flipped when she released the album. Though it has been months, there still haven’t been any visuals released with this project, which is quite odd for Queen B. Beyoncé is known for airing monumental visuals that take the world by surprise. I guess the tour announcement is worth more than the visuals, right? I already know the stage design is going to be spectacular.
Twitter was in shambles after finding out about her summer tour. Tweets about people selling kidneys, their homes, and even clearing their savings accounts were made to buy tickets. According to Vivid Seats, the average ticket cost is $165. Her last tour dates back to 2018 the “On the Run II” tour with her husband Jay-Z, so a new one was definitely overdue.
The announcement was unquestionably made in a unique way… at a charity event. At the Wearable Art Gala, she auctioned a concert ticket package. This event was hosted by Beyoncé’s mother and stepfather Richard and Tina Knowles Lawson, the founders of WACO Theater Center.
The package was valued at $20,000 including a chance to see Beyoncé on her Renaissance tour, 2 first-class United Airlines Polaris tickets to select cities, with 3-night hotel accommodations at a Marriott property. To add the cherry on top, the package also included 2 tickets and a guided backstage tour at the Renaissance concert by Tina Knowles-Lawson. The winning bidder paid between $45,000 to $50,000, according to Variety.
Immediately this shocked people because she heedlessly announced that she was going on tour, but in the most daring way—supporting her family’s theater center, which is a cultural institution for performing and visual arts; sharing stories of the African Diaspora. Yes, it was different, but in an exceptionally humble way.
Make sure you have your notifications, email sign-ups, and outfit ideas on deck because I’m sure these bad boys are going to sell faster than Telfar bags. See you in Summer 2023 Beehive!
