Overview

  • On June 14, Beyoncé delivered her fifth of six London shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a 40-song setlist blending Cowboy Carter tracks and her greatest hits
  • Mid-show she paused to wish husband Jay-Z and all fathers a happy Father’s Day, holding up the Roc diamond hand symbol in tribute
  • Reports of sluggish ticket sales proved misleading as fans filled the stadium despite none of the six London dates officially selling out
  • Audiences travelled from Australia, Italy, the U.S. and beyond to experience her genre-defying celebration of Black country music heritage
  • The tour builds on her Grammy-winning Cowboy Carter album as the first by a Black woman to top the U.S. country charts and heads to Paris on June 17 before concluding in Las Vegas on July 26
