Beyonce announces tour dates

Singer Beyonce has announced a 2023 world tour on Instagram, supporting her multiple Grammy-nominated 2022 album, Renaissance.

The timing of the announcement, which comes just days before the Grammy Awards on Sunday, sparks speculation that the singer may perform or at least appear on the show. Beyonce is the most nominated artiste for the awards with nine gongs, all related to Renaissance.

Reports claim that her husband Jay-Z will perform with DJ Khaled on the show, most likely their nominated song, God did.

Beyonce performed her first full concert in four years on January 21 at the new Atlantis the Royal Resort in Dubai. It was an elaborate and highly theatrical performance - for which sources say she was paid about $24 million - with an all-female orchestra, a battery of dancers, a small lake, fireworks, a 50-foot hydraulic platform, three costume changes for the singer and a guest appearance from her and Jay's daughter Blue Ivy, but no songs at all from Renaissance - a tease that could mean she will premiere one or two at the Grammys, or even save them for the tour.

Beyonce has said that Renaissance is a three-part project, so it's possible that the next parts could be another album, a long-form video project or even the tour itself.

Beyonce's last full tour was the nearly six-month-long, 49-date Formation tour in 2016, which unusually featured no guest appearances until the final show, at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, where she brought out Kendrick Lamar and Jay-Z.
