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.

Samsung has officially answered the $15million lawsuit filed against them by Dua Lipa, denying the claims made by the singer.

The artist filed the lawsuit against the electronics giant earlier this month, accusing the company of using her image without approval to help market televisions.

The complaint focuses on cardboard TV packaging released by the brand in 2025, which allegedly featured a photo of the singer without compensation or permission being granted beforehand.

According to the lawsuit, her legal representatives attempted to stop Samsung from continuing to use the image, but claimed the company responded in a “dismissive and callous” manner. The filing also referenced reactions posted by fans on X/Twitter, where some users admitted the packaging influenced their interest in buying the TV.

“I’d get that TV just because Dua Lipa is on it,” one fan wrote, while another posted: “I wasn’t even planning on buying a tv but I saw the box so I decided to get it.”

The lawsuit includes allegations of copyright infringement, violations tied to California publicity rights laws, federal Lanham Act claims, and trademark related accusations.

Samsung has now issued a public response to the case and pushed back against the allegations made by the ‘Dance The Night’ hitmaker.

In a statement, Samsung explained: “The image of Dua Lipa was used in 2025 to display content from third-party partners available on Samsung TVs.

“Originally, the image was provided by a content partner for the free streaming service Samsung TV Plus. It was only used after the content partner had given explicit assurances that all necessary rights had been obtained – including use on sales packaging.”

The company also stated that it has “great respect for Dua Lipa” along with the intellectual property rights of artists, adding that it remains “open to a constructive solution” with the singer.

At this point, Dua Lipa’s representatives have not publicly addressed Samsung’s latest response.

Elsewhere, the singer recently curated the London Literature Festival 2026 at the Southbank Centre, surprised fans with an unexpected appearance during Tame Impala’s headline performance at The O2, and was also announced as part of the cast for a new A24 comedy titled Peaked.
