The world tour kicks off tonight (April 28) in Los Angeles

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.

Celebrated playwright and comedian Ben Elton has approached Noel Gallagher about creating an “Oasis jukebox musical”.

The two recently crossed paths at the Queen Budapest premiere at London’s BFI Imax. During their conversation, the We Will Rock You writer expressed his interest in building a stage production around Oasis’ songs.

The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column reported that the guitarist laughed and pointed him towards his brother Liam, saying: “You better ask our kid.”

Someone close to Liam suggested casting the singer would be a challenge, claiming no actor could "match" his "swagger".

Built around Queen’s songs, We Will Rock You enjoyed an impressive run, becoming the Dominion Theatre’s longest running musical and earning a place among the West End’s longest running productions. It also received the Laurence Olivier Award for Most Popular Show.

Interest in Oasis remains enormous, with 11 million people signing up for the Oasis Live ’27 ticket ballot.

After the Live Forever band returned to touring last year for the first time in 16 years, their famous rivalry with Blur became the subject of a stage comedy.

In The Battle, Gavin and Stacey actor Mathew Horne portrayed Andy Ross, the Britpop music executive who found himself in the middle of one of British music’s most memorable feuds.

He said: “This play is right in the sweet spot of my teenage cultural experience. I’m thrilled to be exploring this iconic era in music on stage with such a talented creative team involved.”

The production revisited August 1995, when Blur and Oasis went head to head by releasing Country House and Roll With It on the same day, each hoping to reach Number One.

Blur secured the victory with sales of 274,000 copies, compared with 216,000 for Oasis.

That chart contest fuelled years of public jabs between members of both groups, although relations have become less hostile over time.

A UK tour had been planned for the production, but its remaining performances were cancelled following the Birmingham and Manchester engagements in February and March this year.

Oasis Live ’27 begins on May 21 at Glasgow’s Celtic Park, with 42 concerts scheduled, including a record six performances at Knebworth.
