Beyoncé has announced her Renaissance World Tour that is expected to gross over $200 million based on forecasts estimated by Billboard Boxscore, aiming to be her fourth tour to do so, with the possibility of easily surpassing the $275 million mark. The all-stadium trek is currently scheduled to play 41 shows in 10 countries from May 10 to September 27.
The tour comes six months after she released her seventh studio album, Renaissance, which had no concerts or televised performances. The Renaissance World Tour will be her first solo tour in seven years and fourth overall.
Beyoncé's previous Formation world tour, her first solo trek in stadiums, earned $256.1 million and sold 2.2 million tickets, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore, finishing atop Billboard's year-end Top Tours chart. Her second stadium tour, On the Run II, came close to Formation's gross and attendance, despite the doubled-up star power.
The upcoming Renaissance World Tour announced with 15 shows in Europe in May and June, followed by 26 shows in the U.S. and Canada, is slightly shorter than Formation's 49 shows and On the Run II Tour's 48 shows. However, given the industry's plumped-up ticketing and her consistent sell-out stadium business, the Renaissance World Tour could be earning $6.8 million-$7.5 million per show, a personal-best that could potentially notch her first $300 million tour.
She's one of the most powerful women in showbiz
Throughout her career, Beyoncé has grossed $767.3 million and sold 8.9 million tickets across 375 shows, including those with Jay-Z and the Verizon Ladies First Tour. This year, the Renaissance World Tour is setting her up to be one of three women potentially crossing the billion-dollar mark.
The tour is expected to have an initial routing announcement with London as the only market with more than one show, but the singer may just be playing coy. More dates could be announced in some of the routing's open spaces due to high demand.
The Renaissance album was released in July 2022 to rapturous acclaim, and the lead single, "Break My Soul," hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. When album cut "Cuff It" hit No. 10 on the Hot 100 in January, it became the 21st top 10 Hot 100 song of her solo career.
Beyoncé's estimated net worth is $450 million according to Forbes.
