Beyonce adds 2nd Houston show to 'Renaissance' world tour

Queen Bey will also play in Dallas in her birthday month.

HOUSTON — Before sunrise Wednesday, Queen Bey had the hive buzzing with a special announcement.

Subtly on social media and her website, Beyonce announced her "Renaissance" world tour, which will make two stops in Texas, including Houston, of course. Thursday, fans who registered to receive ticket information got surprise alerts that a second show had been added to her Houston stop.

The announcement of her tour comes days before the Grammy Awards on Sunday, where the global superstar is the most nominated artist and could make Recording Academy history.

Beyoncé, the most decorated woman in Grammy history with 28 wins, could break the late Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti’s record for most awards won if she wins four awards. You can watch the GRAMMYs on KHOU 11 Sunday at 6 p.m. CST

The 2022 album “Renaissance” is a celebration of dance music and is nominated for album of the year.  

The “Renaissance” world tour kicks off May 10 in Sweden. She will make a stop in Dallas on Sept. 21 and Houston on Sept. 23 and Sept. 24.

Hold your horses, hive, not everyone can purchase tickets just yet. According to Live Nation, verified fan registration opened for North American dates a few hours after the announcement. Citi Cardmembers, Verizon Up and BeyHive Members will have additional access to presales.

Ticketmaster said in a release that sales will begin Feb. 6 and fans will need to register through their Verified Fan system. Sale times will vary based on city.

"Renaissance" was the pop icon's seventh studio album, coming out in July of last year to rave reviews.

Buzz and speculation for the tour have been building for months, with the "You Won't Break My Soul" singer apparently auctioning an expensive concert ticket package during an October charity event.

While on tour, the BeyGOOD initiative Beyonce founded in 2013 to support people and programs around the world will continue. BeyGOOD focuses on economic equity by supporting organizations that serve marginalized and underserved communities with access to scholarships, opportunities for internships that lead to job placement, and resources to support entrepreneurship, according to a LiveNation release.

BeyGOOD will support entrepreneurs in various cities along the tour through Black Parade Route luncheons, celebrating small business owners, with grant opportunities being awarded and services with global partners to promote business sustainability. The organization will support 1,000 small businesses with a $1M commitment.

In 10 cities along the tour, BeyGOOD will give money to universities to be awarded as scholarships to college and university students. Each school will be given $1000,000 and will select the recipients, the release said. BeyGOOD plans to give $1M in scholarships during the tour.
