PICS: The Renaissance Is Here – Beyoncé Kicks Off Long-Awaited Global Stadium Tour with Sold-Out First Night in Stockholm
Last night, global cultural icon Beyoncé kicked off her RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR with a sold-out show in Stockholm, Sweden, at Friends Arena, filling the city with powerful dance music from her wildly successful seventh studio album, RENAISSANCE. The emotional return to the global stage, five years in the making, captivated the 46,000 fans in attendance with songs such as “PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA,” “COZY,” and “BREAK MY SOUL,” along with legendary hits from her trailblazing discography like “Flaws And All,” “Crazy In Love,” and “Love On Top” in a nearly 3 hour performance.

The 56-date 2023 tour, produced by Parkwood Entertainment, and promoted by Live Nation will continue with a second night in Stockholm and additional shows throughout Europe in May & June including five sold out nights at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium then proceeds to North America with shows in July, August and September.
Fans can also access exclusive VIP experiences in Europe including Pure/Honey On Stage Risers – an exclusive opportunity to see the show on the stage with dedicated services, or receive early access to the General Admission BeyHive VIP and Club Renaissance areas, both immersive experiences surrounding the stage.

As with previous tours, Beyoncé will make her mark offstage, too, with BeyGOOD, the initiative she founded in 2013, now a public Charity, to support people and programs around the world. BeyGOOD will continue its legacy of philanthropy, building out this focus on economic equity by supporting organizations that serve marginalized and underserved communities with access to scholarships, opportunities for internships that lead to job placement, and resources to support entrepreneurship.
In various cities throughout the tour, BeyGOOD will support entrepreneurs through Black Parade Route luncheons, celebrating small business owners, with grant opportunities being awarded and a foray of services with global partners to promote business sustainability. One thousand small businesses will be supported with a commitment totaling one million dollars.
BeyGOOD will also support students through scholarship funds that will be given to colleges and universities in ten different cities along the tour. Each school will be given one hundred thousand dollars and will select the student recipients. BeyGOOD’s total scholarship commitment during RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR will be one million dollars.
A noted partner with Beyoncé, Tiffany & Co. is the official jeweler of RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR. Tiffany & Co. has a longstanding commitment to conducting itself responsibly, sustaining the natural environment, prioritizing diversity and inclusion, and positively impacting the communities in which it operates.
