Fingers at the ready, Beyonce fans, the first batch of tickets for the Single Ladies singer’s UK tour dates goes on sale today with O2 Priority. Other pre-sales including for Live Nation and the Beyhive will follow later this week.
Beyonce is set to play what is guaranteed to be a mind-blowing set at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on May 23, 2023. The Sunderland date is one of only five in the UK and the only one in the north of England.
The star teased the announcement of her tour yesterday with a photo on Instagram before dropping the dates to masses of excitement. It’s guaranteed to be a sell-out with fans clamouring to see the star on her first tour since 2018’s ‘On the Run II’ tour with husband Jay-Z.
