It's the year of tour announcements and 2023 is shaping up to be an immense moment in the musical history calendar. Sam Smith, Lewis Capaldi and Taylor Swift have all announced tours for next year and now the 'the first lady of music' Beyoncé has confirmed one as well.
Announcements for tours are normally hyped up on artists' social media, usually following cryptic hints days, or weeks before the 'big, shiny reveal' but in the case of Beyoncé Knowles it hasn't been that straightforward. While fans have been speculating whether a tour will be on the cards since the Queen of pop launched her album, Renaissance in July, 2022, Beyoncé herself has yet to officially confirm, until now.
The announcement came in the form of a charity auction at the weekend, whereby the fifth annual Wearable Art Gala auctioned two concert tickets to Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ 2023 tour, complete with a backstage tour from the singer's mum, Miss Tina. That's according to the NME, the auction listing read: "Celebrating her seventh studio album, Beyoncé has announced that she will be taking ‘Renaissance’ on tour and we are offering an exclusive 2 tickets to see her live from anywhere around the world, courtesy of United Airlines and their Polaris package."
