The news of Beyoncé’s tour comes shortly after her performance in Dubai. The “Alien Superstar” artist graced the stage for the grand opening of Atlantis The Royal for an exclusive performance. Only celebrities, influencers and journalists were invited to watch the show.
Beyoncé's album, Renaissance dropped in late July 2022. The project’s dance-heavy production earned critical acclaim across the board, landing at the top of several year-end lists. Additionally, it earned Bey 9 Grammy noms including Album Of The Year. During the 2022 Wearable Art Gala, she sparked speculation surrounding the upcoming tour after auctioning luxury ticket packages. The buyers spent $40K and over for backstage passes, concert tickets and more.
