Queen Bey is ready for a summer of music that has her fans buzzing with excitement.
The one and only Beyoncé recently announced the Renaissance World Tour that will take her to stadiums across the U.S. and Europe.
After kicking off the tour in Sweden and hitting other stops on the far side of the Atlantic, she will begin the North American leg in July. She visits Soldier Field in Chicago for two shows, July 22-23, and Ford Field in Detroit on July 26.
Beyoncé last toured as part of a co-headlining a run in 2018 with her husband, Jay-Z, but this is her first solo headlining tour since 2016’s Formation tour.
She will look to add to her lifetime ticket sales that have already topped the $1 billion mark, making her the highest grossing Black touring artist in history.
Amos sets summer dates
Alt-rock queen Tori Amos has dates lined up in support of her celebrated 2021 album, Ocean to Ocean.
Amos announced a U.S. summer tour that features more than two dozen gigs, including stops at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre outside of Detroit on July 9 and Old National Centre in Indianapolis on July 11.
Amos will be joined on stage with longtime collaborator bassist Jon Evans and renowned U.K. drummer Ash Soan. Special guest support is yet to be announced.
Ocean to Ocean is Amos’ 16th studio album and is described as her “most personal work in years.”
Come out for Fall Out Boy
Fall Out Boy have unveiled their summer trek, So Much For (Tour) Dust, supporting their upcoming album, So Much (For) Stardust.

Alkaline Trio will open the show at Wrigley Field, while Bring Me the Horizon opens the other shows.
The past two summers, Fall Out Boy were on the road with Green Day and Weezer for The Hella Mega Tour, first through North America during the summer of 2021, then through Europe in 2022.
