Renaissance is the seventh album of American singer Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and released in July 2022. Sinds then, the artist has been hinting at a tour for the album. In the summer of 2023 it'll finally happen. On Saturday June 17 and June 18, 2023, Beyoncé is performing in the Johan Cruijff ArenA once again!
The 2023 tour, produced by Parkwood Entertainment and promoted by Live Nation, will start on May 10th, 2023, in the Friends Arena in Stockholm, and has shows throughout all Europe in Cardiff, Edinburgh, Sunderland, Paris, London, Marseille, Amsterdam, Warsaw and more. After the tour will travel to North America with stops in Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston and more.
Beyoncé will once again do her part for a better world with BeyGOOD. This is an initiative she started in 2013 to help support people all over the world. The initiative supports organisations that help marginalised communities, offer internships and provide services for entrepreneurship. During the Renaissance Tour, BeyGOOD will set up Black Parade Route lunches in multiple cities, where owners of small business will be placed in the spotlight. In total, one thousand small business will be supported with a gift of one million dollars in total. Besides this, BeyGOOD will support students. During the tour, colleges and universities in ten cities will receive scholarships. Every school will receive $100.000 and gets to choose which students can use the scholarship.

Beyoncé is one of the most popular singers of the 21st century. Her career started blooming in the late '90s when she was a part of the group Destiny's Child with Kelly Lowland and Michelle Williams. You can know this group from songs like Say My Name and Bills, Bills, Bills. Beyoncé had her breakthrough as a solo artist in 2003 with her first album Dangerously in Love, which brought fans songs like Crazy in Love and Baby Boy.
It's been quite some time since Beyoncé was in the ArenA. The last time was in 2018, when she gave two performances with her husband Jay-Z. Now, after five years of waiting, it's finally time again for a solo performance of Queen Bey. Are you going to be at one of the extraordinary concerts?
