The Crazy in Love star last performed in the Welsh capital in 2018 with her husband Jay-Z opening their combined world tour On The Run II, bringing the city to a standstill. She also visited as part of her Formation tour in 2016.

The Renaissance tour, her first solo shows in six years, follows the release of her seventh studio album of the same name and will also call in Edinburgh, Sunderland, and London.

Beyoncé began her career as the lead singer of RnB group Destiny’s Child but has been performing as a solo artist since 2003. She has sold an estimated 200 million records, making her one of the best-selling music artists in history. She has won 25 Grammy Awards and is the most nominated woman in the award’s history.

Queen Bey is yet another megastar to announce she is visiting Cardiff, with Harry Styles and Coldplay also bringing their tours to the city in June 2023. Harry's Love On Tour shows will take place on June 20, and 21 2023, marking the first time the former One Direction star turned actor and solo artist has performed in Wales. You can find details on those shows here.

Alex Luff, Principality Stadium Sales & Operations Manager said: “We’re delighted that Beyoncé has chosen Principality Stadium, Cardiff as one of the key stops on the European leg of her new Renaissance World Tour. Beyoncé is an incredible performer and this will be her third time performing here since 2016. I think this demonstrates the pulling power of Principality Stadium as a multi-purpose venue, hosting some of the world biggest acts in music and entertainment. It’s a great addition to an already fantastic 2023 summer concert season with Coldplay and Harry Styles.”

Tickets start from £50 and go up to £170 for VIP.

Coldplay have announced two dates at the Principality Stadium, on June 6 and 7. The band have played Cardiff before - most recently in 2017, but this newest tour has been heralded for its ground-breaking set of sustainability initiatives which include a show powered by 100% renewable energy in almost all locations.
