The "Renaissance World Tour" will kick off in
Stockholm on May 10, travelling across the continent until the
end of June. It will then resume in Toronto in July before
wrapping in New Orleans in September.
Beyonce released the chart-topping and critically-acclaimed
"Renaissance", her seventh studio album, at the end of July. The
record, inspired by Black and queer dance music culture and
pioneers, is in the running for the coveted album of the year
prize at this year's Grammy Awards, which take place on Sunday.
Beyonce's last studio tour was in 2016 in support of her album
"Lemonade".
The singer-songwriter faced online criticism last month after
performing at the lavish opening of the Atlantis The Royal hotel
in Dubai. Same-sex relationships are criminalised in the United
Arab Emirates.
