Beyoncé Announces Cities for ‘Cowboy Carter’ Tour
Beyoncé revealed the first nine cities for her highly-anticipated Cowboy Carter & the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour shortly after taking home the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. The singer posted the stops in a poster on her Instagram, but has yet to announce the actual dates.
The tour, in support of her album Cowboy Carter, will hit Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, London, Paris, Houston, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., and Las Vegas. Beyoncé captioned the Instagram post with the words: “She Coming.”
Beyoncé teased the tour over the weekend, first with a short clip on Netflix prior to their Beyonce Bowl and later on her own Instagram page. She has yet to share the specific venues and has not confirmed when tickets will go on sale.
Cowboy Carter served as a celebration of country music’s Black roots, which heard the singer tapping country acts such as Dolly Parton, Willie Jones, and Shaboozey across the LP. It also featured appearances from Post Malone and Miley Cyrus while also paying tribute to country stars of the past, like Willie Nelson and Linda Martell, a pioneering Black woman country singer.
During her acceptance speech at the Grammys, Beyoncé dedicated her victory to Martell. “I want to dedicate this to Miss Martell, and I’ll just hopefully keep pushing forward, opening doors,” she noted.
In December, Beyoncé offered her first live performance of Cowboy Carter tracks during her NFL Christmas Gameday halftime performance. She was joined by Malone and Shaboozey, as well as “Blackbiird” featured singers Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, and Reyna Roberts. Her set list included “16 Carriages,” “Ya Ya,” “Spaghetti,” “Riiverdance,” “Sweet Honey Buckiin’,” “Levii’s Jeans,” “Jolene,” and more.
The singer wrapped her Renaissance world tour in early October 2023 after touring across the United States and Europe and performing 56 shows across six months. She followed the tour by releasing Renaissance: a Film by Beyoncé.
