Some Beyoncé fans are watching 4 September 2026 for a possible clue about the third instalment of her three-act project as the singer turns 45. The date has attracted fresh speculation because it is also the 20th anniversary of B'Day, although Beyoncé has not announced an Act III release date or confirmed that the project will be a rock album.
The birthday is already tied to an official Beyoncé release. Parkwood Entertainment announced in July that the release of 'Morning Dew (Donk)' began a 60-day countdown to Beyoncé's birthday and the 20th-anniversary reissue of B'Day. The anniversary edition is scheduled for 4 September, two decades after the album's worldwide release on her 25th birthday.
