Beyoncé will be touring parts of the world in 2023 to promote her album Renaissance.

The megastar made the much-anticipated announcement on social media on Wednesday with a photo of her wearing a disco ball cowboy hat on a sliver horse.

This is the Cuff It hitmaker’s seventh studio album, which has been topping charts globally since its release in July 2022. The announcement came just after a performance in the United Arab Emirates, which caused a bit of a stir after she didn’t perform any of her new songs. The Renaissance album is created from sounds from house music’s queer roots in Chicago. But none of those songs made it to the stage at the exclusive invite-only opening of the Atlantis The Royal resort. It is illegal to be homosexual in the United Arab Emirates.

The artist draws heavily from influences in Africa, including Kenya-born Somalia-Britain poet Warsan Shire and panstula dancers. But African countries are unfortunately not on Queen B’s itinerary – again.

She has only come to South Africa as part of two festivals – the 46664 Nelson Mandela tribute concert in Cape Town in 2003 when she was still a member of Destiny’s Child, and then again the Global Citizen concert in Johannesburg in 2018 – and never had a leg of a world tour on the continent.

The Renaissance tour will kick off in Stockholm in May this year and will end in September in New Orleans. More information about dates and countries for can be found on Beyoncé’s website.
