Will Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour come to the UK and Europe?
The Beyhive is abuzz with speculation, but as it stands, Beyoncé has yet to confirm whether she will embark on a Cowboy Carter tour. Historically, Beyoncé has toured or performed live shows for all her studio albums. Given this track record, it’s likely that Beyoncé has something up her sleeve for Cowboy Carter.
When will Beyoncé Cowboy Carter tour tickets go on sale?
The Renaissance World Tour kicked off nine months after the album’s release, so it’s possible that a Cowboy Carter tour might not begin until late 2024 or even 2025. Keep an eye open for priority tickets available through platforms like O2 Priority in the UK.
How much do Beyoncé tickets usually cost?
For the Renaissance World Tour, ticket prices ranged from £56 (about $74) to £199 (about $263) for standard seating and standing options. VIP packages, which included premium seating and exclusive merchandise, reached up to an eye-watering £2400 (about $3,173). Fans should expect a similar pricing structure for the Cowboy Carter tour.

What is Cowboy Carter about?
Cowboy Carter is the second act in Beyoncé's trilogy celebrating historically Black music genres. The album is a bold reinvention of Americana and highlights the contributions of Black trailblazers to American history. Beyoncé has crafted a concept album that not only educates listeners on the Black roots of country music but also shines a light on its bright future.
The album’s title is a nod to both Beyoncé's married name, Knowles-Carter, and the history of Black cowboys in the American West. It also references the Carter Family, a pivotal act in country music, whose sound was heavily influenced by Black musician Lesley Riddle.
Who are the black country artists on Beyoncé’s album?
Beyoncé is using her album to spotlight a new generation of Black country artists. Tanner Adell, Tiera Kennedy, Brittney Spencer, and Reyna Roberts were chosen by Bey as supporting vocals on Cowboy Carter’s second track, “Blackbiird.” Nigerian-American Shaboozey is featured on both “Spaghettii” and “Sweet Honey Buckin’,” while Something To Dance To creator Willie Jones, known for his R&B-tinged country style, duetted with Beyoncé on “JUST FOR FUN.” Beyoncé also highlighted Black Country pioneer Linda Martell, the first commercially successful Black Country artist. Martell’s rich voice carries the listener through two of Beyoncé’s tracks, “Spaghettii” and “The Linda Martell Show.”
