Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour: Complete venue guide

Get your cowboy jackets, saddle up, and get ready to ride with Beyoncé as she plays multiple shows at two iconic European venues.

Beyoncé’s ongoing tenth concert tour, officially titled “Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour,” is a celebration of her 2024 album, which made history at the 2025 Grammy Awards by winning Album of the Year and Best Country Album.

These awards made her the first Black woman to achieve the latter. The tour began on April 28, 2025, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, and is scheduled to conclude on July 26, 2025, in Nevada. This all-stadium tour is a theatrical spectacle of country, folk, blues, and Bey’s signature pulsating choreography.

Following her record-breaking “Renaissance World Tour” in 2023, this tour pays homage to Black musical history, referencing the “Chitlin’ Circuit,” a network of venues where African-American artists performed during segregation.

The European leg will see the most-awarded female artist of all time play six shows at London’s Tottenham Stadium and three at Stade de France in Paris. These shows promise to be a blazing ride of unforgettable performances with innovative stage designs, including robotic arms, mechanical bulls, and levitating platforms.

This guide provides a detailed exploration of European venues, offers a glimpse into the setlist, and provides a comprehensive overview of the tour.

Tour overview

The “Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour” is Beyoncé’s tenth concert tour, supporting her 2024 album “Cowboy Carter.” The album is a genre-defying work of art that blends elements of country, folk, and blues while celebrating Black musical heritage. The tour kicked off on April 28, 2025, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, with 32 stadium shows across nine cities; a rebirth is here.

The “Cowboy Carter Tour” follows the record-breaking “Renaissance World Tour,” which grossed $579.8 million from Beyonce tickets across 56 shows, and continues Queen Bee’s tradition of pushing artistic boundaries. The tour’s “Chitlin’ Circuit” subtitle recognises historic venues where Black artists performed during segregation, therefore adding a layer of cultural significance.

The production was unveiled via social media, featuring a star-shaped stage, robotic arms, mechanical bulls, and levitating platforms, which created a theatrical spectacle that complements the album’s narrative of resilience and identity.

The tour kicked off with a five-show run at SoFi Stadium, grossing $55.7 million and drawing over 217,143 fans, setting a record for the highest-grossing single-venue engagement by a female artist. Critics have praised the show, with Rolling Stone noting its “calculated perfection” and The Guardian highlighting Beyoncé’s narrative control. Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter’s appearances have added a personal touch to the tour, while brief moments where Bey acknowledges Black country pioneers are just endearing.

Beyond the European leg, the North American schedule included multiple dates at major venues like Chicago’s Soldier Field and East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium. While Houston’s NRG Stadium, Beyoncé’s hometown, will host two shows on June 28 and 29 after she rounds off her Europe trek.

Washington, D.C.’s Northwest Stadium includes a notable July 4 performance, alongside July 7, promising a patriotic spectacle. Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium concludes the tour with four shows on July 10, 11, 13, and 14. With additional dates added due to demand, the tour will wrap up on July 26 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.

The European leg and Venues

The European leg of Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter Tour” is a significant highlight of her 2025 global trek, with performances scheduled exclusively in two prestigious stadiums:

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, United Kingdom, and Stade de France in Saint-Denis, Paris, France.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, United Kingdom

Beyoncé’s six-show stint at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16, 2025, marks her return to London following her 2023 “Renaissance World Tour,” where she played five nights in this venue. This state-of-the-art stadium is located in North London; its acoustics and versatility make it an ideal setting for Beyoncé’s ambitious production.

The “Cowboy Carter” performances here are expected to draw over 60,000 fans per night to experience a creative spectacle that combines the Western aesthetic of “Cowboy Carter”—think rhinestone cowboy hats, tassels, and boots—with tributes to Black musical pioneers.

The stadium’s capacity is tailored to accommodate her elaborate stage setup, which features a main stage with a wide structure and a rectangular widescreen with a pyramidal void in the middle, creating the optical illusion of a five-pointed star. LED-lit ramps will also connect a triangular secondary stage. The production is not complete without elements like robotic arms, mechanical bulls, pyrotechnics, and multiple levitating platforms, such as a red Cadillac Eldorado and a horseshoe-shaped swing.

The setlist will be based on the tour’s opening night in Los Angeles and includes nearly all tracks from “Cowboy Carter,” such as “Texas Hold’ Em” and “Jolene,” alongside hits like “Crazy in Love” and “Freedom.” The inclusion of her daughters, Blue Ivy and Rumi, adds a personal touch, with Blue Ivy dancing to “America Has a Problem” and Rumi appearing during “Protector.”

The London shows will feature interludes to honour artists like Linda Martell, the first Black woman to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. Fans on social media platforms like X are praising this initiative as a “love letter to Black history.” Local communities, such as those organised by @beyoncepress on X, have shared live streams and reactions, amplifying the excitement of seeing Bey in London. Expect the performances to start at 7:30 pm and last nearly three hours. With no confirmed supporting act, it is just Queen Bee and her Bee Hive donning cowboy-inspired outfits.

Stade de France, Saint-Denis, Paris, France

The 43-year-old will play three nights at Stade de France on June 19, 21, and 22, 2025, as thousands will gather in Saint-Denis to witness Bey’s performances. These shows are the crowning moments of the European leg, with all shows selling out within minutes of the presale, thus prompting the addition of a third date.

With a capacity of over 80,000, the stadium is known for hosting major global events, which provides a grand backdrop for Bey’s tour. These shows are expected to mirror the high-energy, theatrical performances seen in London, with a setlist that emphasises “Cowboy Carter” tracks and select hits from her extensive catalogue.

The Paris concerts hold a special significance for Beyoncé, who kicked off her “Renaissance World Tour” in Stockholm but included Paris as a key stop. The City of Light, already radiant with its history and charm, will glow brighter under the weight of this cultural moment.

The streets leading to the venue will come alive with fans adorned in glittering silver, cowboy hats, and Renaissance-inspired attire. Fans can anticipate moments like the “Texas Hold’ Em” remix with “Pony Up” and “Church Girl,” enhanced by pyrotechnics, and the emotional closer “Amen,” featuring dancers in American flag-inspired costumes matching her intensity—their movements blending with precision and fluidity, a visual echo of her voice.

Blue Ivy’s dance performances and Rumi’s appearance during “Protector” are expected to resonate strongly with Parisian audiences, who have embraced Beyoncé’s family-orientated moments.

As the crowd disperses into the Parisian night at the end of each show, the streets will be filled with fans, their voices carrying snippets of songs. The show in Paris is more than a concert; it is a celebration of Black history, means to leave an indelible mark in Paris.
