Beyoncé has started her string of UK dates on her ‘Cowboy Carter’ world tour. The pop superstar has had 6 dates booked, all in London at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium – she played there last week on June 5 and June 7, and will return this week on June 10, 12, 14 and 16.
Beyoncé announced the details of her world tour earlier this year, to support the release of her highly praised country album ‘Cowboy Carter’, her latest release which dropped in 2024.
At the stadium, she gave fans a tracklist with a mixture of old and new. She kicked off the set with ‘Ameriican Requiem’ from her latest album. She then shared two covers –her version of the Beatles classic ‘Blackbird’ which also appeared on ‘Cowboy Carter’, and a rendition of the American national anthem, ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’.
She carried on playing hits from her latest record, including ‘Protector’, ‘Levii’s Jeans’, ‘Spaghetti’, ‘Just For Fun’, ‘Riiverdance’, and the album’s lead single, ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’.
Her 40-track setlist also contained some classic hits from her catalogue, such as ‘Crazy in Love’, ‘Single Ladies’, ‘If I Were A Boy’ and ‘Irreplaceable’. She also pulled out some tracks from her recent ‘Renaissance’ record, such as ‘Cuff It’ and ‘Alien Superstar’. She closed out the proceedings with the final track from ‘Cowboy Carter’, the atmospheric anthem ‘Amen’.
Amidst the hype for her world tour, there has been some upset around the pricing of tickets for her concerts – she has the highest top-priced ticket of any artist visiting the UK in 2025, with prices peaking at £950.
But tickets weren’t sold out in the run up to her shows, so promoters slashed some prices with hopes to fill the arena. This led to disappointment from fans who’d already bought tickets at full price.
One fan, Zulkarnain Sadali, told the BBC that he flew from Singapore to watch Beyonce in London, purchasing a ticket which costed “more than £700”.
“A couple of weeks ago I checked my ticket and then curiosity got the best of me and I checked the same ticket, or same category, and the price was around £300,” he said.
“I’m really excited for [the show] but I will say the dynamic pricing really left a sour taste in my mouth.”
It’s not the first time that dynamic pricing has caused controversy – fans buying tickets for the Oasis reunion shows saw prices skyrocket past their original price, with some appearing on resale sites at £6,000.
