Description

Presented by Live Nation (LR-20-7529/LR-22-1699) Following the resounding success of her seventh studio album, RENAISSANCE, BEYONCÉ, the global superstar today announced the RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR, her first solo tour in over six years. COWBOY CARTER has made music history by reinterpreting elements of country, rock and roll, folk, rhythm and blues, pop, psychedelic soul, and bluegrass, forming the second part of a trilogy. The album incorporates excerpts from the fictional radio station "KNTRY Radio Texas," with country legends such as Dolly Parton, Linda Martell, and Willie Nelson appearing as hosts and collaborators on several tracks. Upon its release, the album debuted at number one on multiple charts, including the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums, making Beyoncé the first Black woman to reach the top of both charts. Last night at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, COWBOY CARTER won three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, Best Country Album, and Best Country Duo/Group Performance. The album also garnered 11 nominations, further cementing Beyoncé's status as the most nominated and most awarded artist in Grammy history, with a total of 99 nominations and 35 wins. The COWBOY CARTER TOUR will bring this award-winning album to life for the first time on stage in a full-length show, following the explosive performance of the BEYONCÉ BOWL during Netflix's inaugural NFL Christmas Gameday, which took place in 2024 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. That halftime show captivated more than 27 million viewers in the United States. About Beyoncé: Beyoncé is a multi-talented artist and global icon.
