Watch Beyoncé Kick Off Her Renaissance World Tour In Sweden
Beyoncé released a new album, Renaissance, almost a year ago, and it was one of the best albums of 2022. Back in February, she announced its accompanying world tour, which kicked off at Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden tonight.
The Renaissance tour will run through Europe until the end of June; she’ll pick back up in North America just a week later, and her last scheduled show for now is in New Orleans on September 27. This is Beyoncé’s first full-fledged tour since 2018’s On The Run II, which she co-headlined with Jay-Z. These would be her first proper shows since then, too, except in January she performed a concert at an exclusive resort in Dubai for a reported $24 million paycheck.
At that Dubai show, she didn’t perform anything from Renaissance, though, which means all the Renaissance songs she performs in Stockholm are live debuts. She opened the set with “Dangerously In Love,” the first time she’s performed the Destiny’s Child track since 2009.
Check out some photos, video, and the setlist from the show, which is still going on, below.
