Beyoncé ‘Beyhive’ fans were in a flurry back in February 2023 when the superstar singer announced the Renaissance World Tour on her Instagram. The tour was due to run from May to September and covered Europe and North America, but no Australian or Asia-Pacific dates were announced.
“Beyoncé, I’d like to remind you that Australia is in the world…” one fan posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
So, fans have watched on jealously revelling in all of her iconic designer outfits and breath-taking performances, thinking she’d never head down under. However, now it seems Beyoncé may be bringing her Renaissance Tour to Australia sooner than expected.
Is Beyoncé Bringing Her Renaissance Tour To Australia?
Beyoncé has not announced an Australian leg of her Renaissance Tour as yet, but that’s not to say that she won’t.
A TikTok of a recent concert has fans hyped up that Bey could be announcing dates soon. While we have to take such fan theories with a grain of salt, it is a promising sign for the Beyhive to cling on to.
You see, the screen on her stage set up featured three dates, London (7.11.01), Vancouver (23.11.01) and Sydney (16.11.01).
“WELL I HOPE SHE COMES TO SYDNEY, COZ THIS IS JUST A TEASE IF SHE DOESN’T,” one fan wrote on the TikTok.
While some fans were trying to do Swiftie-level maths on the significance of the number 16, others were quick to postulate that it was simply an international clock reading ‘16’ as ‘4pm’.
However, there have been endless rumours Bey plans to go ‘Down Under’, especially given the final date at the moment is set to be in Kansas City on October 1, 2023. Could she be using this international clock to point fans to an antipodean concert?
Well, there have been unconfirmed reports that tour promoters are already saying ‘dates are locked in’. There was also reports through Sydney Morning Herald that acts like Beyoncé and the Foo Fighters are being denied Allianz Stadium as a venue because it can only host a small number of concerts a year in accordance with noise complaints.
A spokesperson for Accor Stadium in Olympic Park said, “When you think of concerts that have been held at Accor, they are the major acts in the world, like Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Harry Styles and Adele.”
“So, why would a star like Beyoncé and her promoters choose Allianz when the other major stars in the world choose Australia’s major events precinct, Sydney Olympic Park?”
It all seems a little tenuous at this stage, but big fans are hoping on a dream that their Queen will take her throne in Sydney once more.
Has Beyoncé Ever Toured Australia?
The omission of Australia from the Renaissance World Tour is suspect, as Beyoncé has traditionally toured her shows in Down Under in the past.
She last performed in Australia for the Mrs. Carter World Tour in October and November 2013, going to every capital city except Darwin and Hobart.
She also came to Australia in 2009 for the I Am … World Tour and her first ever world tour in 2007.
Where To Get Tickets To Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour?
At this stage, as no Australian dates have been announced, we can’t purchase tickets for the show. In all likelihood they would be released through Ticketek if the show was going ahead.
If you’re willing to travel across the pond to watch Beyoncé do her thing on stage, tickets are purchased through Ticketmaster.
