# Cowboy Carter Tour

The Cowboy Carter Tour (also known as the Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour) is the upcoming tenth concert tour by American singer-songwriter Beyoncé in support of her eighth studio album Cowboy Carter (2024). As her fifth overall all-stadium tour, it is scheduled to commence on April 28, 2025, in Inglewood, California, and conclude on July 25, 2025, in Paradise, Nevada.

## Background

Beyoncé embarked on the Renaissance World Tour, her ninth concert tour, in 2023, in support of her seventh studio album, Renaissance (2022), breaking the record for the highest-grossing tour by a black artist in history. In 2024, she released her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, which led the 67th Annual Grammy Awards with eleven nominations and three winning categories, including Album of the Year and Best Country Album. To further support the album, Beyoncé headlined a Netflix special dubbed as the "Beyoncé Bowl", capturing the halftime performance at the 2024 NFL on Christmas Day game at Houston's NRG Stadium.
A short video clip was added to the end of the broadcasting with a stated date for January 14, 2025, hinting a possible concert tour. The announcement, however, was postponed to an unspecifed later date due to the havoc caused by the January 2025 Southern California wildfires. On February 1, 2025, about an hour before midnight eastern time, Netflix tweeted the "Sweet Honey Buckiin'" lyric “Look at that horse” with a link to the “Beyoncé Bowl” performance. Fans quickly noticed that "Cowboy Carter Tour" had been added as a title card at the end of the special, and took to social media.
At around midnight on February 2, 2025, Beyoncé posted promotional videos and updated her various social media accounts and website with the title "Cowboy Carter Tour 2025," in all caps, along with a promotional poster and 22 dates. The initial tour announcement graphic included Las Vegas, but no dates in the city were revealed at the time. On March 17, 2025, a show at Allegiant Stadium was added.
The Chitlin' Circuit in the tour's name refers to a network of US venues where African-American musicians performed due to segregation enforced by Jim Crow laws. According to American historian Mia Bay, the venues were "one of the more successful segregation-era businesses", being pivotal to the careers of Black entertainers and drawing Black communities. Some cities that were part of the Chiltin' Circuit also serve as stops for the tour.

## Ticket sales

Ticket sales for the Cowboy Carter Tour were handled by Ticketmaster, whose website crashed due to "massive demand". For the US dates, it was revealed that there would be three different presale events before the public on-sale, where fans could register for a chance to buy tickets in one of two ways: through the Beyhive presale, which ran from February 11, 2025, until the next day, or through the Artist presale, for access to the presale on February 13. The third option was limited to Citi Card Members and Verizon customers only. Mastercard holders were granted access for a special presale on February 12 for the London and Paris shows.
Eight additional dates were added due to the high demand, including fifth and sixth shows in London, a fifth concert each in Inglewood and East Rutherford, third and fourth shows in Atlanta, and a third concert each in Paris and Chicago. With the added dates, Beyoncé broke the record for the most shows in a single run at MetLife and Mercedes-Benz stadiums in East Rutherford and Atlanta, respectively. In preparation for the general sale, fans booked time off work and crowd-sourced data to track ticket prices. All three Paris shows at Stade de France sold out within minutes, totalling 240,000 tickets sold. In the UK, it was estimated that 6.2 million fans would miss out on tickets. Despite fan criticism over high prices, sales surpassed over the million mark by mid-March 2025. Live Nation reported a 94% of tickets sold and estimated that the tour would gross over $325 million.
