This Renaissance Tour will take the Break My Soul singer from Stockholm in Sweden in May to New Orleans at the end of September. In the meantime, Beyoncé will be in France for two concerts: May 26 at the Stade de France in Paris, then June 11 at the Vélodrome de Marseille. The ticket office for these event concerts opens on Tuesday, February 7, at 10 a.m. Presales are also open this Friday, February 3 at 10 a.m.
Tickets are available on the Toureur’s website LiveNationbut also on the Velodrome website for the concert in Marseilles. There is no doubt that you will have to be punctual (and patient) to hope to win a precious sesame.
If fans’ expectations are so high, it’s because Beyoncé hasn’t been on tour since 2018 and On the Runwith her husband Jay-Z, who had taken her to North America and Europe, with two exceptional concerts at the Stade de France (remember, the World Cup final…) and in Nice.
Recently, Beyoncé had rather talked about her for a controversial concert organized in a luxury hotel in Dubai. A show that had aroused the anger of the LGBTQI + community, traditionally supported by Queen B, because of the draconian laws of the emirate. “An album specially dedicated to his gay uncle to end up performing in Dubai in one of the most LGBTphobic countries in the world where homosexuality remains theoretically punishable by death”, reacted Sébastien Tüller, LBGTI + manager for Amnesty International. France.

The Scrapbook Renaissance by Beyoncé
It was the release of the summer of 2022, or even of the year: that of Beyoncé’s new album, baptized Renaissance and released on Friday, July 29, 2022. Despite leaking to social media 48 hours before its release, fans held on and waited until D-Day to check out Queen B’s 16 new tracks. “The album leaked, but you waited for the real release, to enjoy it all together. I’ve never seen anything like it,” the star rejoiced on Twitter.
Renaissance therefore has 16 unreleased tracks, dance music atmosphere, carried by the single already released Break My Soul. We discover here a Beyoncé all in electro, with productions, once again, impeccable. Many are the danceable pieces, the hits in the making and the vocal performances on the agenda. Something to delight his admirers, who are thousands to rave about Renaissance on social networks.
“The transitions? The vocals? The perfect productions? B. didn’t come back to do the extras. Very ambitious project, very worked. Ethics drives me absolutely crazy”, wrote for example a fan on Twitter, when another adds: “I have never been part of the #BeyHive (the fans of Beyoncé editor’s note.) but WOW Beyoncé did something monumental with this album Renaissance, every song I listen to is amazing! A flawless one.” Successful comeback therefore.
