Beyoncé has shared a preview of the stage for her upcoming ‘Cowboy Carter‘ world tour. Check it out below.
The huge run of gigs kicks off in Los Angeles tonight (April 28) and will see Bey head across the US, before playing shows in the UK and France.
Ahead of the first show, the ‘Cuff It’ singer shared a sneak preview of the stage with fans, taking to Twitter/X to post a snippet alongside the caption: “SHE COMING.”
A video, taken from inside Los Angeles’s SoFi Stadium – where she’s set to play five concerts – shows an elaborate, star-shaped stage that leads to a pointed runway. The singer is known for her high production value, having similarly intricate designs at her previous ‘Renaissance‘ and ‘Formation‘ world tours.
Check out the clip below, as well as a full list of tour dates. You can also find any remaining tickets for US shows here and UK shows here.
The tour is in support of her country-inspired, Grammy-winning latest album, which she released last March.
NME awarded the album five stars, noting: “Even if interpreted only on the grounds of artistic spectacle, it’s an undeniable thrill to see [Beyoncé] swing so big on a project that dares her to be so intimate and vocal-focused, while making way for country’s up-and-comers too.”

Last week, it was reported that the cost of tickets for the tour’s opening nights had been reduced significantly due to low sales, with standard tickets available from $85, while resale tickets had dropped to $35 in some cases.
Live Nation have previously denied reports that Beyoncé is having trouble selling tickets. Last month, in a statement to Billboard, the events company claimed that 94 per cent of tickets for the tour have been sold.
The announcement of the UK dates at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has had the unexpected consequence of the Rugby Football Union (RFU) threatening to leave Twickenham Stadium. Chief executive Bill Sweeney alleged that licensing restrictions caused them to miss out on hosting a show on the tour.
Beyoncé last hit the road in 2023 in support of her previous studio album, ‘Renaissance’. It was one of the highest-grossing tours of all time, taking in a reported $579million (£455.7million) in revenue.
Earlier this year, Beyoncé finally won the coveted Album Of The Year award at the Grammys 2025 with ‘Cowboy Carter’. With a total of 99 nods, the singer is now the most nominated artist in Grammy history. She also holds the record for most Grammy wins, now with 35. Additionally, she is the first Black woman to have won the Best Country Album prize.
Elton John has shared his family’s yearly summer playlist on the latest episode of his Rocket Hour show on Apple Music, with songs chosen together with his husband David Furnish and their sons, Zachary and Elijah.
During his appearance on Apple Music 1, the musician revealed that the family puts every song suggestion to a vote at home, with a track needing at least three votes before making the final cut. The playlist is packed with energetic songs, matching the family’s love for lively and feel good music throughout the summer.
The playlist brings together different generations and musical styles, combining iconic names from previous decades with newer electronic artists and dance music producers.
Among the songs chosen are Stevie Wonder’s "Higher Ground," Bob Marley & The Wailers' "Could You Be Loved," and Tom Petty’s "Runnin' Down A Dream." John also praised Petty’s music, describing the 1989 album Full Moon Fever as one of the greatest rock albums ever made.
Zachary and Elijah’s musical tastes are also represented, with the playlist featuring current UK club tracks alongside familiar reggae and pop favorites. John singled out "Free Your Mind," the collaboration between Leeds dance duo Prospa and producer Cloonee, as one song his sons especially enjoy.
The broadcast also features a mix of electronic and crossover sounds, including Peggy Gou and Ayra Starr’s "Wo, man," Jamie xx’s "Baddy On the Floor" featuring Honey Dijon, Barry Can’t Swim’s "Return To Bhibo," and Fisher’s reworking of Bob Sinclar’s "World, Hold On." Other artists included in the selection are Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lykke Li, Groove Armada, Kacey Musgraves, Wiz Khalifa, and Role Model.
John noted that the songs played during the radio show are only part of the much larger playlist the family listens to during the summer.
The complete episode of Rocket Hour can be streamed on demand through Apple Music and Apple Podcasts.
