Calling all members of the Bey Hive: the time has finally come. Beyoncé has announced that she will be touring her latest album, ‘Renaissance’, released in July last year. Much to our delight, the superstar confirmed the live dates were happening at the Wearable Art Gala in California on October 22, and now the European and North American legs of the Renaissance World Tour have been announced.
There is a huge amount of hype around Bey returning to British shores, and people are already calling for the star to add more dates to her tour to satisfy demand. There’s been a serious scramble for tickets so far, with many fans complaining on Twitter that they were kicked out before reaching the front of the presale queue.

We expect that when the general tickets finally drop for ‘Renaissance’ in the UK they will sell out mega fast, so make sure to keep an eye out and plan ahead. Here’s everything you need to know about Beyoncé’s 2023 UK shows.
When do Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour tickets go on sale?
An O2 presale has already taken place, as well as separate Live Nation and venue presales.
The BeyHive presale will go live on Monday February 6 from 9am to 6pm, while general public sale will start at 10am on Tuesday February 7.
How much do tickets cost?
As expected, tickets don’t come cheap. Prices for Beyoncé’s UK dates range from £56.25 for a seated ticket to £106.80 for a standing ticket, plus fees. VIP packages range from £1,960 to an eye-watering £2,400 for the VIP ‘Pure/Honey On Stage Risers: Front Row Experience’ (again, plus fees). Ouch.
What is the BeyHive presale?
The BeyHive Presale, available via Ticketmaster, allows access to an early ticket sale. It’s open on Monday February 6, between 9am and 6pm.
To be a member of the official BeyHive, you must already be signed up to Beyonce’s mailing list through her website. Unfortunately, registration has closed, so if you’re not already a member, you’ll have to wait for the general sale.

When did Beyonce last tour in the UK?
Beyoncé’s last tour in the UK was back in 2018 with her husband Jay-Z for her show ‘On The Run II’. The couple performed a total of six acts that included a mix of both of the stars’ songs such as ‘Crazy in Love’, ‘99 Problems’ and ‘Run the World (Girls)’.
They started the tour in Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester and London before moving onto the rest of Europe and finishing the tour back in the USA.
