The tour comes on the heels of Beyoncé’s award-winning success with 2024’s Cowboy Carter – including the project taking home this year’s Grammy for Album of the Year.

“I just feel full and very honored,” she said during her acceptance speech. “It’s been many, many years. I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work.”

Bey’s trek began with five shows in Los Angeles, from April 28 to May 9 in Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium. Just days before the tour’s opening night, the Grammy winner shared a video with footage from the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. It shows the impressive stage setup and a look at the entirety of the stadium; it gives the viewer an idea of the massive scale of Beyoncé’s show.

The next stop on the tour is London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 5. The nine-city tour will span the U.S. and Europe before wrapping up in Las Vegas on July 26. You can see the full list of tour dates here.
