Global cultural icon Beyoncé started her RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR with a sold-out concert in Stockholm, Sweden’s Friends Arena. The show featured powerful dance music from her seventh studio album, RENAISSANCE, which has been widely successful.
It was an emotional return to the global stage, after a five-year hiatus, and the performance was mesmerizing for the 46,000 fans in attendance. The concert included songs like “PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA,” “COZY,” and “BREAK MY SOUL” from the new album, as well as iconic hits from Beyoncé‘s previous discography such as “Flaws And All,” “Crazy In Love,” and “Love On Top.” The concert lasted almost three hours.
Parkwood Entertainment is producing the 2023 tour, which comprises 56 dates and is being promoted by Live Nation. The tour will continue with a second night in Stockholm, followed by additional shows throughout Europe in May and June. Beyoncé will perform five sold-out shows at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before heading to North America for shows in July, August, and September.
Fans have the opportunity to access exclusive VIP experiences in Europe, such as the Pure/Honey On Stage Risers. This exclusive opportunity allows fans to watch the show from the stage, with dedicated services. Fans can also receive early access to the General Admission BeyHive VIP and Club Renaissance areas, which are immersive experiences surrounding the stage.

As she has done on previous tours, Beyoncé will continue to make a difference offstage through her BeyGOOD initiative. Founded in 2013, BeyGOOD is now a public charity that supports people and programs around the world. On this tour, BeyGOOD will focus on economic equity by supporting organizations that serve marginalized and underserved communities with access to scholarships, internships that lead to job placement, and resources to support entrepreneurship.
Throughout the tour, BeyGOOD will support entrepreneurs through Black Parade Route luncheons, which celebrate small business owners and offer grant opportunities and services with global partners to promote business sustainability. A commitment of one million dollars will support one thousand small businesses.
BeyGOOD will also provide scholarship funds to colleges and universities in ten different cities along the tour. Each school will receive one hundred thousand dollars and will select the student recipients. BeyGOOD’s total scholarship commitment during the RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR will be one million dollars.
