Tour Details
Beyoncé’s 2023 tour in support of her seventh album, Renaissance, was a 56-show run in 39 cities from May 10 through Oct. 1, 2023. Grossing $580 million, according to Pollstar, it was her biggest-selling tour to date. The trek began in Sweden and traveled through Europe and the UK through late June, then picked up again with more stadium shows in the U.S., starting July 15 in Nashville and wrapping up with a final show in Kansas City, MO. Averaging more than $10 million in ticket sales per show, it ranks as the eighth biggest moneymaker of all time in terms of total (non-inflation-adjusted) dollar sales. Also notable: the $39 million garnered by the tour’s concert film, Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, since its Dec. 1, 2023 release, and the singer’s reported $24+ million paycheck for an invitation-only concert in Dubai on Jan. 21, 2023.
