Regarding Beyoncé, Mother of the House of Renaissance

By Julianne Escobedo Shepherd

Beyonc performs onstage

When Renaissance dropped last summer, it was perfect timing. The masses were ready to shake off that last bit of ennui wrought by pandemic isolation, and Beyoncé exhorted us to celebrate that we were alive en masse, and to do so in the face of all that was scary: crowds, evil bosses, legislators, haters, the Supreme Court. “ Break My Soul ,” the single indebted to ’90s vocal house, was a jubilant, defiant protest. Its arrival on June 20, 2022, just four days before SCOTUS overturned Roe v. Wade , meant that it soundtracked furious pro-choice rallies across the country. It also lent itself to a larger landscape: a perfect lip-sync song in the era of state-level drag bans, a song of strength devoted to Black women and LGBTQ people in the ongoing fight for justice.

Millions of people have been enthralled by Beyoncé’s live imagination of Renaissance since it hit the road this May in Stockholm. When I saw her perform for a crowd of 82,000 at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium this summer, it was impossible not to think of this timing. Her vehement demand for joy as an intervention was on full display, on giant glittering screens projecting her every expression and accessory. The pan-African flag gleamed across the masses as she sang “Black Parade” from atop a silver tank, her eleven-year-old daughter Blue Ivy raising a Black Power fist at her flank. The sound of ballroom artist Kevin JZ Prodigy commentated “cunt to the feminine what, ow” in staccato cracks as she hand-twirled into the quiet ferocity of “Cozy.” The rejuvenating tribute to her idol, the icon and queen of rock Tina Turner, with a transcendent rendition of “River Deep, Mountain High.” The retrofitting of the famous Italian painting The Birth of Venus , in which she emerged like a pearl on the half shell via Flora Purim singing “Plastic Off the Sofa.” The visibility she gave her inclusive, euphoric array of dancers and performers, including those who were nonbinary, transgender, plus-size, and, in the case of one trumpeter in her famous all-woman band, pregnant. The space she gave voguers from the ballroom scene, including Darius Hickman , Carlos Basquiat , and Honey Balenciaga , to express the beauty of their art.

That concert was one day after one of her fans, a 28-year-old Black dancer named O’Shae Sibley , was murdered in a racist and homophobic hate crime at a gas station in Brooklyn, simply for voguing to Renaissance . (The chant that followed at a memorial in Los Angeles, one of several across the country, went: “O-O-O-Shae. He was voguing to Beyoncé.”) Balenciaga took time off to join mourners in Brooklyn, and Beyoncé paid her respects . O’Shae Sibley’s death underscored the importance of her speaking directly to her queer fans, using her massive power as a place for others to reflect themselves back and, one hopes, teach everyone else respect and tolerance. The devil is working hard , but Beyoncé works harder.

And in a disquieting climate in which a young Black man can be targeted simply for expressing his joy, it’s a massive relief to experience something that feels like an unencumbered blast of good, even amidst the very real fact that inclusion and catharsis is not protection . In that way, Renaissance has been the year’s defining, galvanizing cultural event, a release in which the catharsis of the club has been replicated on a massive scale. Fashion alone has been altered irrevocably: Beyoncé’s custom looks for each concert are chronicled in all their intricate splendor on her Instagram , and her label Parkwood has been posting the fans in kind, showcasing their gorgeous outfit photos from each tour stop. (In late August, Beyoncé requested attendees “wear your most fabulous silver fashions” in honor of her birthday and Virgo season.)

Beyonc surrounded by dancers onstage

The way attendees have been showing out reflects their widespread intent to be active participants in one of the most inclusive pop tours ever staged. They’ve spent massive amounts of money to travel overseas for early stops of the tour, to buy outfits that represent both the flashiest church and sophisticated club afters, and to be a member of the Renaissance. I saw these things span across age, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, even class differences, as evidenced by the high-low range of the style and ingenious amount of DIY fashion. While the active, enthusiastic participation has been delicious for fans to watch online, it felt even better to be cocooned in it in person—throngs of showgoers clad in glimmering sequins, silvery cowboy boots, iridescent hats, and LED accessories, taking a cue from the Renaissance cover art and Beyoncé's equine partner, the mirrorball-clad Reneigh. (Everyone, it seems, is a horse girl now.) Fans have been instrumental in the actualization of the tour and the crucial key to its ambience and sense of communal activity. When I was there, even the security was hype. In my row in the stands, an exceedingly jovial guard—over-50 and white, with a Jersey accent—took outfit photos for showgoers with their phones. When he saw my friend and I laughing happily at his enthusiasm, he admitted with a grin, “I turn into a bad bitch for Mrs. Carter!”

That fandom and connection goes beyond the camaraderie and aesthetics of such a show. In the realm of performance, there is simply no one better than Beyoncé, who is living proof that women don’t wither and die in middle age, they flourish. For the duration of her career, she has delivered pristine vocals alongside punishing athleticism, all while holding her facial expressions at exactly the correct angle and leading a gargantuan stage with tens of dancers and musicians. It’s the level of greatness that solicits respect from the greats themselves. On the Renaissance tour stop that fell on her birthday in September, Diana Ross—79 and still going strong—came onstage to support Beyoncé, leading a muva-to-muva singalong of “Happy Birthday” that ended with a heartfelt hug. “I’m thankful for every flaw, every stretch mark, every FUPA… I’m thankful that I’m here, at fuckin’ 42,” Beyoncé said before the going into the song “Flaws and All.” She held court in a black lace gown custom-made by Dolce & Gabbana, looking every bit the regal diva, making a promise that she’s nowhere near half-done. There is strength in seeing adult women command such massive audiences, and a reminder that our own wrinkles, or stretch marks, or crow’s feet don’t define us, but rather showcase our experiences and wisdom.

Beyoncé opens the Renaissance shows with a run of four ballads, including a majestically felt rendition of “Dangerously in Love” and Mary J. Blige’s “I’m Goin’ Down”—itself a cover of ’70s soul group Rose Royce—that grounds her as a brolic purveyor of blues. Through the rhythmic three hours that follow, she interpolates—live remixes, really—her own discography into itself as well as intergenerational cuts from other artists (“Love on Top” with the Jackson 5’s “I Want You Back,” to cite one ). Three-quarters of the way through the concert, she performs her transcendent cover of Frankie Beverly and Maze’s “Before I Let Go,” a nod to her Homecoming album and another link from her own music to Black pop hits past. She improvised deep cuts, too: upon seeing Tia Mowry in the Los Angeles crowd, she interpolated a bit of “ Yeah, Yeah, Yeah ,” a song Mowry released with her girl group Voices in 1992, when Bey was a tween. Throughout, she deploys the sorts of extravagance and camp that ballroom values, Mothering outlandishly through her “Heated” commentating , inspiring Beyoncslay memes across social media, and making an interactive game out of which city shushes most thoroughly when she sings “look around, everybody on mute” in “Energy.” (Houston seems to have won.)

No one else at this level possesses the same combination of historical gravitas and trenchant work ethic, or uses their platform to link their work to the roots of American Black music and beyond. Take, for instance, the segment in the Renaissance tour when she uses a costume change break to edify the audience about the history of house, with videos about its importance set to soundtracks like “ Percolator ” and “ Hot Music ,” the unofficial theme songs of New York City block parties for three decades. She not only grounds Renaissance in a long lineage, she reminds audiences that house music is Black music, and important to understanding its presence. To that end, she has enlisted a slate of young, queer, Black, and regional DJs to provide opening music—and vibes—for Club Renaissance, including Arca, Ariel Zetina, Mike Q, and Uniiqu3, both cosigning them and giving them the rare opportunity of playing music for stadiums. She’s also blessed regional stars at certain chosen stops—Kendrick in L.A., Megan Thee Stallion performing the “Savage Remix” for the first time ever in Houston, and a solid rumor that Big Freedia will join her on “Break My Soul” for her stop in New Orleans this week.

Beyonc hoisted in the air

It’s hard to think of a massive pop tour that speaks so clearly and perfectly to its sociopolitical moment as the Renaissance tour. Beychella , to be sure, Beyoncé's 2018 culture-shifter devoted to Black feminism, HBCUs, and the nuances of various Black artforms. Before that, perhaps Madonna's 1990 Blond Ambition tour, when she performed “Vogue” in an earlier era of heightened homophobia and transphobia, flaunting her sexuality and power in a time when silence equaled death . As it happened, Madonna was in the audience in New Jersey , witnessing Beyoncé perform her Black woman-elevating remix of “Vogue,” as a sort of passing of the torch between Queens of Pop.

Maybe some of that freedom was simply Beyoncé living her house diva dreams, a significant statement in itself. So many pop house divas of the past were erased from the popular record of the time, a record that is only beginning to be corrected . The iconic Martha Wash, of the Weather Girls, spent the fatphobic ’80s and ’90s suing for her own credits , after being replaced with younger and thinner women lip-syncing her vocals in the videos for Black Box’s “Everybody Everybody” and C+C Music Factory's “Gonna Make You Sweat.” Those lawsuits were perhaps the best known, but similar stories of erasure have played out with Loleatta Holloway , Jocelyn Brown , Kelli-Leigh , and more, where Black women vocalists transformed scores of songs into indelible classics, but are viewed by their male producers and record labels as throwaway, mere clips to sample, or tertiary to the real genius.

Beyoncé placing herself in front of this history won’t right those wrongs, and it is easy to ascribe dreams and aspirations onto her. As with many pop stars, her moves don’t always square with the values she performs . But she does have the cultural power to reorient the narrative even just a little, whether centering house divas or paying homage to LGBTQ Black and Latine ballroom originators. (Plus vocalists are infinitely more interesting to watch than DJs, particularly in a climate when staring has supplanted dancing.) It is not uncommon to get hyperbolic about Beyoncé. She has, like many pop stars, been deified to the point of Veladoras hawked by candle companies, her beatific visage and unfailingly sick fits replacing the benevolent gaze and gently draped robe of La Virgen. During her tour she assumed the role of the conduit and protector; she is the “Mother of the House of Renaissance ,” as a voice-over goes in the tour as she fans herself in the style of the ball. A house mother is the keeper of her children, and her children are genuflected. But the Renaissance tour’s most important act was bringing Beyoncé’s fans together in massive numbers, creating a space in which joy can build and attendees can experience sweet release. That’s what dance music, at its beating heart, is about.

Where can you get tickets?

Tickets for the North American leg of the tour will be available through Ticketmaster's Verified Fan program. Tickets will go on sale Monday, Feb 6, with an exclusive presale to BeyHive members, according to a Live Nation press release.

Verified Fan registration is now open. Once you register, you'll be placed in a lottery system that determines which fans get invited to purchase tickets. Registration alone doesn't guarantee tickets. If you're selected, you'll get an access code the day before tickets go on sale. Everyone else will be placed on a waitlist. According to Live Nation, this process is intended to help Ticketmaster weed out the resellers and verify your account so that actual fans get priority to buy tickets.

Citi cardmembers will have a special Citi Presale after the Verified Fan process. Get more details here . Verizon will also offer an exclusive presale through their customer loyalty program Verizon Up .

Will Beyoncé be using Ticketmaster like Taylor Swift to sell tickets?

Yes, but given what happened with Taylor Swift's Eras tour (and the fact it led to Congressional hearings about Ticketmaster ’s practices), it seems very likely both Beyoncé and Ticketmaster would want to avoid repeating that mess. That most likely explains the usage of the Verified Fan system.

Where will Beyoncé be playing?

The Renaissance World Tour will hit 40 cities in North America and across Europe. Stops include Paris, London, Amsterdam, Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston, and many more.

What has Beyoncé said about the Renaissance World Tour?

She just announced it was happening with a post on February 1. Her website didn't immediately contain any more details. But during the Wearable Art Gala in October 2022, she appeared to confirm it would start this summer, as a backstage tour with her mother Tina Lawson was up for auction at the event.

Will Beyoncé be performing at the Grammys (on February 5) and sharing more tour details there?

Not clear yet, but she is the most nominated artist at the ceremony . On January 21, Variety reported that “ talks with show producers are ongoing for a possible onstage appearance ” by Beyoncé.

What can we expect from the tour on stage?

Beyoncé hasn't shared that yet either, but given the artistry she put into her recent Dubai show , it's fair to say we can expect no less than excellence, elaborate costumes, and an incredible experience.

This post will be updated the moment more detail is released.

Beyoncé's 'renaissance' tour remixes her archive for an intergalactic future.

Bilal Qureshi

renaissance tour stop

In a concert that spans almost three hours, featuring robots, tanks, flying horses and maximalist filmmaking, Beyoncé remixed and embedded the entire 16-track Renaissance album into her full musical archive. Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Parkwood hide caption

In a concert that spans almost three hours, featuring robots, tanks, flying horses and maximalist filmmaking, Beyoncé remixed and embedded the entire 16-track Renaissance album into her full musical archive.

After almost a year of releasing no accompanying videos or performing any of its songs live, last night in Stockholm, Beyoncé finally unveiled what she meant by Renaissance . Not simply a masterpiece of production, vocal and dance futurism, the album was finally unveiled as a multi-dimensional planet in which fans are to be immersed and fully transformed as she has been. In a concert that spans almost three hours — featuring robots, tanks, flying horses and maximalist filmmaking — Beyoncé remixed and embedded the entire 16-track Renaissance album into her full musical archive, crafting a 37-song setlist that brilliantly merges the earthly R&B from where she came and the intergalactic future in which she and her music have already been living.

Stockholm wasn't quite prepared for the pop culture spectacle that descended on the city last night, with fans, industry insiders and critics flying in from all over the world to witness the opening night performance. Public transportation to the city's 60,000 capacity soccer stadium was snarled and the lines to enter the arena equally exhausting. But the anticipation was palpable as the lights finally dimmed to restart an ambient recording of thundering clouds after what may have been a technical glitch.

On the massive film screen that spans the entire stage, clouds began to float across blue skies as Beyoncé, dressed in an Alexander McQueen suit, rose from below at the show's start. Anyone expecting a night at the club got their first surprise here. Instead of the slithering sounds and hard edges of Renaissance 's house-infused opening, it was vintage, R&B Beyoncé: the title song from her debut 2003 album Dangerously in Love . Opening with the warmly intoned lyrics, "I love you," she welcomed the audience with a huge smile and a series of exquisite ballads, including her cover of Etta James' "I'd Rather Go Blind" and the lush longing of "1+1" from her 2011 album 4 .

Then she departed the stage, and the technical wizardry and cinematic imagery made it immediately evident that the preceding setlist of analog, undiluted performances was proof that a nostalgic past is prelude. Right before the lush electronic soundscapes of the new album's opening and the words "these motherf****** ain't stopping me," the title Renaissance appeared in glittering silver across the entire span of the screen followed by an IMAX-scale montage of intergalactic travel, hyperspeed portals and a filmed Beyoncé in robotic shields marching toward the audience. "Come with me through my portal to the House of Chrome," she said, "where I'm reborn." The visual landscapes of space and chrome referenced a combination of Fritz Lang's Metropolis , Tron , The Matrix , Ex Machina and even Michael and Janet Jackson's video for "Scream."

Revolutionary Fun: Why we can't stop talking about Beyoncé's 'Renaissance'

Editors' Picks

Revolutionary fun: why we can't stop talking about beyoncé's 'renaissance'.

There was, of course, also: fierce dancing, ballroom showdowns and the vocal brilliance featured in the album's sexually uninhibited ode to Black queer culture grounded in '70s and '80s dance genres like house and disco. But the Beyoncé on stage and screen here presented herself as an artist flying across time and space. When it seemed Renaissance would be played in full without skips — the album is so impeccably sequenced — the setlist swerves and surprises, with samples of Britney Spears' "Toxic," Madonna's "Vogue" and of course Beyoncé's own extraordinary catalog remixed to euphoric reactions. The bass drops of "Yoncé," from the self-titled fifth album, transition into the orchestral drum lines of "Family Feud" with Jay-Z before elevating the audience into "Church Girl" from Renaissance . Just as her on-stage character here has moved through a portal to be rebooted as a chrome Athena riding rockets across time, Beyoncé the musician was uploading, updating and renewing her artistic past in real-time before the audience. Each of her albums becomes part of the Renaissance , and songs from each are threaded, integrated and brought into the future with her.

There are also odes to previous visual signatures. Where the album interpolates, samples and credits countless pioneers of dance and queer culture, the reference library for the Renaissance tour is herself. The wide-brimmed Southern hats of "Formation" become chrome discs from outer space in this era, and the sultry choreography from "Partition" is performed on what is quite literally a silver tank that drives onto the stage ramp extending into the stadium's "Club Renaissance" section of the audience. The spirit of the show is regeneration and revival, a display of extraordinary confidence. Functioning robotic arms also constantly dressing, re-assembling and rebooting Beyoncé between the show's chapter breaks to underscore the constant sense of movement and hyperspeed updates.

The fashion industry's inevitable metabolism, dissection and celebration of what she and her team have achieved here is bound to be one of the tour's greatest triumphs. Fashion is intricately woven into the show's narrative, as is Beyoncé's physicality and undeniable sensuality. As the show shifts from deep house into the album's lush, R&B center — "Plastic Off the Sofa," "Virgo's Groove" — Beyoncé emerges in a literal shell on a bed of silver cushions, wearing a gold bodysuit by the luxury brand Loewe, covered in images of black arms and hands. She, too, is wearing long black gloves with red nails that extend the images across her body, and different versions of that same gold suit are worn by her dancers. As the mood shifts from the intergalactic to the bedroom, the language of assembly, embrace and touch continues in more human, Earthly forms.

When I first heard the album, I wondered how such a layered album of soundscapes would sound as a live experience. As is to be expected, seamless and possible delivered by Beyoncé in live, human form. In the vocal pyrotechnics of the most challenging sections of songs like "Heated" and "Virgo's Groove," Beyoncé embodies the superpowered musical machine the tour imagery presents, capable of tangible feats of excellence. With the show's breathless momentum and expansive ambitions, at one point even Beyoncé joked to say, "so many songs, but I'm giving you them all." And it certainly felt like she did.

At the first stop of her "Renaissance" tour in Stockholm, the pop star's visual landscape referenced a combination of Fritz Lang's Metropolis , Tron , The Matrix and more.

It wasn't long after the performance that all the images, videos and commentariat from the show flooded social media. After the drought, a feast has arrived. Even the internet demands since last July to "release the visuals" are hilariously referenced in the ballroom narration of the show. But if I could make one recommendation to anyone fortunate enough to be attending one of the upcoming dates in Europe and North America, there is value in retaining a visual blackout. Nothing on phone screens can compare to the immersive three-dimensions of design, music, fashion and storytelling Beyoncé has crafted. The Renaissance only occurs in her now globally traveling court — a cyborg palace of metallics and lavish textiles of sound that must be experienced in person. The show is a triumph of live performance and designed for ticketed admission.

Throughout the show, I was curious about one aspect of the album in particular — "Reneigh," as fans have named Beyoncé's glittering, disco ball-mirrored steed from the album's cover. How and when would the horse finally make its appearance? As the show reached its conclusion, Beyoncé came back center stage astride Reneigh. As her guards and technicians braced them each to a harness waiting above, the platform gradually rose into the crowd and Beyoncé rode Reneigh above the crowd as she sang "Summer Renaissance." It took me walking around Stockholm earlier in the day — amid all its medieval equine statuary of dead European kings — to finally unlock the meaning of Reneigh and the album's title. The future belongs to an American monarch and the gates to her undeniable renaissance have finally opened.

Beyoncé Announces Renaissance World Tour 2023 with Stops in 25 U.S. Cities

The "Crazy in Love" singer confirmed the hugely anticipated stadium tour on Instagram Wednesday morning

renaissance tour stop

Beyoncé is back, baby!

The singer, who is up for nine Grammys this Sunday , revealed her Renaissance World Tour 2023 on Wednesday morning in an Instagram post — coincidentally, (or perhaps, very strategically!) six years to the day she announced her surprise pregnancy with twins .

The highly anticipated tour — produced by Parkwood Entertainment and promoted by Live Nation — is set to kick off in Europe on May 10 at Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden before touring overseas in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Sunderland, Paris, London, Marseille, Amsterdam, Warsaw and more.

A North American leg of the tour begins on July 8 in Toronto, Canada before hitting 25 U.S. cities including Philadelphia, Nashville, Louisville, Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, East Rutherford, Boston, Pittsburgh, Washington, D.C., Charlotte, Atlanta, Tampa, Miami, St. Louis, Phoenix, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Inglewood, Vancouver, Seattle, Kansas City, Dallas, and Houston.

The tour is currently scheduled to wrap on Sept. 27 in New Orleans.

Beyonce's last tour was 2018's On the Run tour which hit 48 cities in North America and Europe. Beyoncé last performed a full concert back in 2018, when she and JAY-Z, 53, appeared at the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 event .

The tour announcement comes just over one week after Queen Bey performed her first full concert in more than four years, when she performed an hour-long set at the new Atlantis The Royal Resort in Dubai.

For more on Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour announcement, listen below to our daily podcast PEOPLE Every Day.

Moving through a decade of iconic hits, Beyoncé, 41, performed staples such as "Crazy in Love," "Beautiful Liar" and "Naughty Girl," as well as more recent tunes including "Freedom," "Spirit" and "Be Alive."

The singer wore a set of dazzling looks during the performance, including a yellow custom-made Atelier Zuhra corseted dress, which was topped with a feathered skirt and matching backpiece, when she opened the show performing a cover of Etta James ' "At Last."

Then, the mother of three changed into another custom gown, an all-red Nicolas Jebran ensemble composed of a skin-tight bodysuit that was decorated with gold jewels across her torso and chest. She accessorized the look with a matching, billowing skirt and an intricate headpiece.

Notably missing from Beyoncé's set was any song from Renaissance .

Renaissance , which has been billed as the first of a three-part project , marks Beyoncé's first solo album in six years.

She previously released Dangerously in Love (2003), B'Day (2006), I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008), 4 (2011), Beyoncé (2013) and Lemonade (2016), following her tenure with Destiny's Child . Beyoncé also appeared on the 2018 collaborative album Everything Is Love with husband JAY-Z , as well as 2019's The Lion King: The Gift , a soundtrack for Disney's live-action adaptation that features original music by the artist.

Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour at Levi's Stadium: Everything you need to know before you go

KGO logo

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (KGO) -- Beyoncé brought her much-anticipated Renaissance World Tour show to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara for one night.

It's the 32-time Grammy Award-winning singer's first solo trek in nearly seven years. That said, it was nothing short of an extravaganza for her summer renaissance.

VIDEO: Hot tips to help you get the most out of the Beyoncé Renaissance World Tour experience

Here's everything you need to know about the concert:

When and where is Beyoncé performing?

Queen Bey is performing at Levi's Stadium located at 4900 Marie P. DeBartolo Way in Santa Clara on Aug. 30.

6 p.m. - Gates open

8 p.m. - Beyoncé is the opener, main act and encore act

Fans heading to her concert may have a little more time to release their wiggle. According to the Mercury News , the show won't adhere to the regular 10 p.m. weeknight curfew at the venue, thanks to an extension granted by city officials.

Instead, Beyoncé can now plan on grooving right up until 11 p.m.

What can we expect?

This is Beyoncé's fifth visit to the South Bay venue. Previous shows include the 2018 On the Run II Tour alongside Jay-Z, the Formation Tour in 2016, and her debut performance at the stadium for the Super Bowl 50 halftime show in the same year.

Reports from the show's kickoff in May describe her Renaissance World Tour as a "sensory-immersive experience." It uses video projections, animations and digital displays to "blur the boundary between reality and the Bey-taverse," according to the SF Chronicle .

While the show focuses on her recent album "Renaissance," there will also be songs spanning her two decade-long career -- including hits like "Dangerously in Love" and "Run the World (Girls)".

There won't be any other supporting acts before Beyoncé's performance -- all we need is Queen Bey.

What do you wear?

Beyoncé has made a birthday Virgo season request for all her remaining shows: please, BeyHive, wear your silver fashions.

"My birthday wish is to celebrate with you wearing your most fabulous silver fashions to the shows 8.23-9.22," she posted on her Instagram story. "We'll surround ourselves in a shimmering human disco ball each night. Everybody mirroring each other's joy. Virgo season together in the house of chrome."

Can you still get tickets?

Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour stop in Santa Clara is sold out, but you can still get them through resellers. Ticketmaster's verified resale tickets start at $310, and StubHub for $292. Prices will change as the concert approaches.

What you can and cannot bring into Levi's Stadium

The biggest thing to know is that Levi's Stadium bag policy is that they only allow clear bags. Anything that is non-transparent is not allowed.

The only exception for a non-transparent bag is a clutch bag smaller than 4.5 inches by 6.5 inches.

Approved clear bags no larger than 12" x 6" x 12". These include the following clear bags:

  • Clear Backpacks
  • Clear Fanny Packs
  • Clear Purses
  • One-gallon clear plastic zip lock type bags
  • Small Clutch Bag (the size of an adult hand) (4.5" x 6.5")
  • Seat Cushion

Here are a few of the things you can bring:

  • Binoculars shorter than 6 inches (case prohibited)
  • Cameras with 3-inch lenses or shorter (no lights, tripods, selfie-sticks or monopods)
  • Diaper bags accompanying a child
  • Flags smaller than 2' x 3' (No Poles). They cannot be attached to the facility in any way.
  • Plastic water bottles (factory sealed, no-alcohol, less than 24 ounces)
  • Reusable transparent water bottles (no-alcohol, less than 24 ounces)
  • Plastic water bottles (sealed)
  • Seat cushions
  • Strollers (contact the nearest Playmaker if in need of storing)
  • Sunscreen & hand-powered misters
  • Umbrellas (no obstruction of other fans view)

What to know about parking, drop-offs at Levi's Stadium

According to the Levi's Stadium website , they recommend buying a pre-paid parking pass online and arriving early.

As for dropping off a group of people, Levi's has said there will be a special parent pick-up zone on both nights but those details have yet to be released. It appears the best place to make a drop-off is Great America Parkway, between Tasman Dr. and Old Glory Lane. This is the same location rideshares will drop off concertgoers.

The pick-up location at the end of the concert is in Red Lot 7.

To find out more details about parking and drop-offs see the stadium's policies here .

Can I tailgate at Levi's Stadium before or during concert?

The short answer is no. Levi's Stadium prohibited tailgating for the Taylor Swift's concerts and the same goes for Beyoncé's show.

"There will be no designated viewing area outside of Levi's Stadium. Fans without event tickets will not be permitted to congregate in parking areas or on the streets."

Also if you do not have a ticket to the concert and want to listen from outside Levi's Stadium, officials say that won't be possible. Only ticketed fans will be allowed into the parking lots.

Beyoncé Announces Renaissance World Tour

The star’s first solo tour since 2016 will start May 10 in Stockholm.

By Joe Coscarelli

For the first time since 2016 — a world before Beychella , Covid-19 and “Renaissance” — Beyoncé will headline a solo tour, the singer announced in a social media post on Wednesday.

Beginning on May 10 in Stockholm, and continuing in Europe through June before coming to North America, the Renaissance World Tour, in support of her seventh solo album, will run for at least 40 dates, largely in stadiums, according to dates posted to Beyoncé’s website . The tour includes one night at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey (July 29) and one at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. (Sept. 2) amid stops in Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto, Atlanta, Phoenix and Miami.

Limited tickets for certain tour dates will go on sale beginning Monday for members of Beyoncé’s BeyHive fan club, followed by the staggered release of additional tickets by market, using a complex registration system for various tiers of buyer.

The tour, produced by Beyoncé’s Parkwood Entertainment and promoted by Live Nation, will use Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan system , which aims to limit bots and professional scalpers, marking one of the first major tests for Ticketmaster since extraordinary demand for early tickets to Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour last year led to fan backlash and regulatory scrutiny . At a Senate Judiciary hearing last month spurred by the botched presale, artists, fans and politicians cast Live Nation Entertainment, the concert industry giant that owns Ticketmaster, as a monopoly that hinders competition and harms consumers.

Beyoncé’s shows will be the singer’s first live events available to the public since the On the Run II tour with her husband, Jay-Z, in 2018, tied to the surprise release of a joint album, “Everything Is Love,” by the duo billed as the Carters. Beyoncé last toured alone behind her previous solo album, “Lemonade,” in 2016. Two years later, she headlined the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival.

That show — which went on to be released as “Homecoming” (2019), a live album and concert film — was called “rich with history, potently political and visually grand” in a review by the New York Times critic Jon Caramanica. “By turns uproarious, rowdy, and lush. A gobsmacking marvel of choreography and musical direction.”

In the years since, Beyoncé has surfaced intermittently, including with songs like “Black Parade,” which won a Grammy Award for best R&B performance, and “Be Alive,” which appeared in the movie “King Richard” and was nominated for an Oscar. Last year, in a taped performance, Beyoncé performed the song at the 94th annual Academy Awards.

But the singer made a return to the pop mainstream in earnest with the July 2022 release of “Renaissance,” a dance-floor-oriented album that she said was inspired by the L.G.B.T.Q. community and has spawned hits like “Break My Soul” and “Cuff It.” At the Grammy Awards on Sunday, Beyoncé is nominated nine times , with a chance to become the most-awarded artist in history.

Upon its release, the singer called “Renaissance” part of a “three act project” that she recorded during the pandemic. “My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment,” she wrote of the album, which was billed as Act I. “A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom.”

Major music touring has largely recovered, especially at its highest levels, since the Covid-19 pandemic. According to the industry trade publication Pollstar , touring grossed a record-setting $6.28 billion last year, up more than 13 percent from 2019, due in part to pent-up fan demand, inflation and major acts like Bad Bunny, Elton John and Harry Styles.

In addition to Beyoncé’s shows, this year will see blockbuster tours from artists including Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Metallica, Morgan Wallen and Madonna.

Last month, Beyoncé proved more polarizing than usual when she headlined the grand opening of a luxury hotel in Dubai, performing for an invite-only collection of guests, including influencers and journalists.

While some fans decried the optics of taking a major payday in a place that criminalizes homosexuality — “Beyoncé’s Dubai performance isn’t just an affront to LGBTQ+ fans, but workers’ rights in the UAE,” The Guardian declared — others noted that the singer’s set list did not yet include songs from “Renaissance.”

An earlier version of this article misstated the year Beyoncé headlined Coachella. It was 2018, not 2016.

The announcement photo may look familiar to fans, as she donned the same glittery attire on the cover of her seventh studio album. Bey also added “Renaissance World Tour” on her Instagram bio, further accenting the news. Last week, Beyonce performed a full concert for the first time in four years at a luxury resort in Dubai in front of influencers and journalists. The 19-song set included a collaboration with her oldest daughter Blue Ivy as the two performed “Brown Skin Girl,” which earned them a Grammy two years ago for best music video.

Crowned a triumphant win by music lovers, Renaissance stormed to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last year and rattled off two Hot 100 top 10 hits, including her chart-topper “Break My Soul.” The dance-centric album also notched nine Grammy nominations, the most for any nominee for this year’s ceremony. Bey is looking to rack up more trophy wins, as she currently sits at a staggering 28 wins. Nominated for album of the year, song, and record of the year, Bey is facing some stout competition , especially in the former. The R&B juggernaut will tango against Adele, Harry Styles, Kendrick Lamar, Bad Bunny, and more for album of the year. A win in this category would serve as Beyonce’s first. The 65th Grammy Awards will occur Sunday night in Los Angeles at 8 pm EST.

Beyoncé will no longer be visiting Pittsburgh’s Acrisure Stadium, which was set to host her massive “Renaissance” tour next month.

The stadium confirmed the news via social media on Wednesday, revealing that the show had been canceled “due to production logistics and scheduling issues.” Two additional stops in Seattle and Kansas City have been postponed, with Seattle’s delay being just one day after the original date and the Kansas show shifted from Sept. 18 to Oct. 1.

Both venues cited the same scheduling and production issues for the move.

Popular on Variety

Variety has reached out to Beyoncé’s representatives and Acrisure Stadium for additional information.

The “Renaissance” world tour started earlier this May in Stockholm, Sweden and visited stadiums and arenas across Europe through the end of June. The North American leg of the tour is scheduled to begin on July 8 at the Rogers Centre in Toronto and will now end in Kansas City, instead of New Orleans, due to the schedule shift.

Beyoncé fans in 'formation' for last stop on 'Renaissance' tour

renaissance tour stop

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — As the sun set Sunday over Kansas City, the parking lots of GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium sparkled.

“It took about five weeks [of] preparation. Six outfits later, that’s how we came up with this,” said Beyoncé fan Shauntae Jackson, who traveled from Delaware to see the show.

After the original date of Beyoncé’s "Renaissance World Tour" stop in KC was rescheduled, the City of Fountains shifted to be the tour's closer.

“I’m just so happy that it got switched to now and we are the last ones. We are the lucky ones,” said concert-goer Jessi Bautista Espino.

With one last night to pull out all the stops, fans made sure their outfits were disco-ball ready. Fan Cynthia Anyaso even modeled her bee-like leotard after Queen Bey herself.

“Bedazzling four hours a day for like a week, but I did it,” Anyaso said. “I didn’t give up, and now it’s done.”

Part of the experience included long lines and backed-up traffic. Luckily for those who feared they'd miss the 8 p.m. start time, the concert started nearly two hours late.

Others were hours early with time to spare. Those concert-goers buzzed around the Beyhive, connecting with fans equally ecstatic to share GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium with the global icon.

“I feel like all of Beyhive is showing how creative we are, and that’s what the 'Renaissance' is about,” said fan Kylar Cross. “It’s about bringing everybody together — showing creativity and showing self-love.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: what is the best time to book a moscow hop-on hop-off tour.

March to May is the best time to plan a visit to Moscow. The days are long with significant sunshine which makes this time ideal for exploring the city. January is the coldest month so make sure to avoid it if you have a low tolerance for chilly weather. However, you will be able to score some good deals on airfare and accommodation during this time.

Q: How does it work?

Moscow bus tour offers you the convenience and flexibility to get off at the nearest designated stop. No tour guide, you set your own itinerary. You’ll find all the stops are located strategically at all the major attractions, making your touring as hassle-free as possible. And then, when you’re ready to continue, return to a designated bus stop, show your pass, and hop back on the bus and onwards towards your next attraction. So, go ahead and make a whole loop of the route once you have your tour ticket, get familiar with the city and pick out your favorite places to visit and then return to them during your stay.

Q: How many days are enough to explore Moscow?

We recommend at least two to three days to explore Moscow at a relaxed pace and cover most of its prominent attractions while enjoying shopping and local cuisine.

Q: What is the validity of the ticket?

There are several ticket options available to you, depending on your length of stay. Each bus tour will have validity from 24, 36, 48 to 72 hours.
