What Time Does Beyoncé Go On Stage For The ‘Renaissance Tour?’

August 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Beyoncé is having a blast as she continues the North American leg of her Renaissance Tour — and so are the fans, who put on their sparkliest outfits for the shows they attend. It has been this way since the European dates, as the pop star turns the concert into an all-out celebration.

She also doesn’t have an opening act, which might have many wondering when she starts the show and what time they should be there. Thankfully, we’re here to help with the answers!

According to Setlist.FM, Beyoncé’s most recent show at Massachusetts’ Foxborough Stadium had the doors open at 5 p.m.. The concert then kicked off at 9, with her full set spanning several hours until around 11:30.

However, in other cities, she has gone on at varied times. At Detroit and the second New Jersey shows, it began at 9:30 p.m.. For the first Jersey date, she started at 9:10. This also delays the concert’s end time until closer to midnight.

Other key information is that the time that the doors open for the Renaissance Tour also vary by city. Chicago‘s opened at 6, Louisville‘s at 6:30. Depending on what show you’re attending, the safest bet is to verify the times with the venue to get a stronger idea.

Beyonce Travels With Personal Toilet Seats

August 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Beyonce is currently making her way around the U.S. on her “Renaissance” world tour, with recent stops in Boston, East Rutherford, and Detroit. So far, the tour’s been making headlines for outrageous fan antics, celebrity guests, and more. Recently, a photo of one of her must-have tour necessities was captured, and it’s not what fans may expect. The photo reveals a box of “BEYONCÉ TOILET SEATS,” which the performer is apparently traveling around with.

It’s obvious that Bey secured her icon status long ago, and clearly her crew is working hard to ensure that every one of her needs are met. Speaking with the US Sun, a source says “Beyoncé is such an elite performer she can literally request anything.” “Her team makes great effort to ensure she has her own comforts,” they add. “A personal toilet seat happens to be one.”

Luckily, her crew doesn’t seem to mind the strange request. According to the source, “Her tour roadies have seen everything so it’s not a great deal for them, but it does raise a smile from people who happen to catch a glimpse of the branded container.”

Beyonce’s “Renaissance” tour is expected to rake in upwards of a whopping $2 million. At the end of June, she wrapped up the European leg of the tour, closing with a stop in Poland. In May, Beyonce dropped the credits for the world tour, revealing the shocking amount of staff involved in the production. She had 14 chefs listed under “tour catering” alone. Obviously, the queen’s gotta eat. Bey herself is also credited as the tour’s director, executive producer, and creative director. Next week, she’s scheduled to perform in DC before making her way down south for dates in Charlotte, Atlanta, Tampa, and more.

What Song Does Blue Ivy Perform With Beyoncé On The ‘Renaissance Tour’?

August 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Beyoncé has been continuing her Renaissance Tour run across North America, with recent dates taking place on the East Coast, and her family is joining her for the ride. Her daughter, Blue Ivy, has popped up as a mainstay of the show for one of the songs on the setlist.

After Beyoncé performs her hit, “Run The World (Girls),” Blue Ivy then joins her for “My Power,” from the 2019 soundtrack for The Lion King. During the stop at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, Blue also returned for “Black Parade” to unveil a special New York jersey.

The pop star’s young daughter debuted her skills during the European leg of the Renaissance Tour, showing off in Paris first.

“She is 11 years old, and she had one week to prepare, and she’s just getting better and better,” Tina Lawson, her grandmother, told People.

“Well, this is a heels family,” she added. “You’re trained early to walk in heels. But yeah, she’s having the time of her life… I couldn’t be more proud of her because she really worked hard… So I’m the proud grandma, always.”

Blue Ivy’s grandmother on Jay-Z’s side (Gloria Carter) has also shared a similar sentiment, revealing that she told the two musicians that they “opened up a door” with this.

Beyonce Responds To Erykah Badu, Seemingly Disses Lizzo

August 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Beyonce is easily one of the biggest artists in the world. Overall, this isn’t exactly much of a statement. Instead, it is a rehashing of the truth. That said, she is currently in the spotlight thanks to her incredible RENAISSANCE tour. The tour has made its way to North America, and last night, she was performing in Massachusetts. Although some would assume that this would be a regular show, it turns out that it was an opportunity for Bey to speak on some of the controversy that has been conjured up over the last couple of days.

For instance, Erykah Badu recently called her out for taking her style. “Hmm. I guess I’m everyone’s stylist. My favorite chrome mirror hat,” Badu said upon seeing one of Beyonce’s tour outfits. Moreover, the superstar’s associate Lizzo is currently being sued by three dancers. The lawsuit stems from allegations of sexual harassment, weight shaming, and a whole list of other offenses. As you will see in the video down below, Beyonce seemingly responded to both controversies while performing “Break My Soul (The Queens Remix).”

Beyonce decided to change the lyrics of the song. In one of the sections, she typically sings “Badu, Lizzo, Kelly Rowl.” However, during this recent performance, she just sang “Badu, Badu, Badu, Badu.” On one hand, this essentially allowed her to pay homage to Badu, while also removing Lizzo from the song in one fell swoop. Although Beyonce didn’t comment directly on either situation, it is very clear where she stands on all of this.

There is no doubt that this RENAISSANCE tour has helped create a ton of interesting storylines. Furthermore, Beyonce is featured on Travis Scott’s Utopia, which has led to even more attention. At this stage in her career, Bey is at the top of her game, and it has been a pleasure to watch. Let us know if you will be seeing her on tour, in the comments section down below.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour is still going strong. It was reported last month that the “Break My Soul” performer contributed to country-wide inflation in Sweden with her concert stop, with data showing a 0.3-percent rise from April to May sparked by “a broad set of goods and services, for instance, hotel and restaurant visits” and “recreational services.”

Something similar is taking place in Chicago after Beyoncé performed there on July 22 and 23 at Soldier Field. A news anchor discussed it on Fox 32 Chicago, saying, “It isn’t just fans basking in the glow of Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour, Yelp Data shows hotels, restaurants, shops, beauty salons all saw a huge spike as well, especially Black-owned businesses.” Statistics were displayed, showing Beyoncé search trends in the Illinois city. Hotels and travel are up 20%, shopping is up 17%, restaurants is up 14%, and beauty services is up 5%.

More statistics show that cosmetics and beauty stores are up 7%, eyebrow services are up 9%, nail salons are up 2%, shoe stores are up 9%, and men’s hair salons are up 4%.

During Beyoncé’s recent Renaissance Tour stop in Louisville, Kentucky, one hometown musician made sure not to miss her performance: Jack Harlow. The rapper met her backstage during the show — and made sure his mom came along for the party too.

Harlow shared a picture of the moment to Threads. In it, he appears to have given Beyoncé a gift as she holds the bag. She has her back turned to chat with him and his mom in a sweet capture where all the parties look genuinely invested in the conversation.

“Introduced my Mom to Beyoncé in Louisville, Kentucky tonight,” he captioned.

Harlow has been on a roll lately with bumping into his famous musician friends. Shortly after the release of his recent album, Jackman, he shared during an interview with the Rap Radar Podcast that he had another wild encounter.

“I ran into Kendrick [Lamar] at the Met,” he said. “It was like a few days after the album dropped, and he was like, ‘Yo. Sh*t is incredible.’ And he gave me enough props that I could have just walked home. I didn’t even want to meet anyone else.”

For now, fans can check out the picture of Jack Harlow and his mom meeting Beyoncé here.

Jack Harlow is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Fan Brings A Horse To Beyonce’s “Renaissance” Tour

July 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Beyonce recently brought her “Renaissance” world tour to Philly, and her show featured a special guest. A new clip shows a fan riding a horse outside of the Lincoln Financial Field. Users have now named the horse Reneigh, after the horse spotted on Bey’s album cover and who has also popped up on the tour several times. Just last month, she was straddling the shimmering steed onstage when a mishap occurred. It appeared as though her crew failed to help her off of the giant horse, leading her to get irritated. Some fans even speculated that the incident could have cost someone their job.

Beyonce’s Philly stop was her first in the U.S. following the European leg of her tour and one stop in Toronto, CA. Later this week, the songstress will take on Nashville before moving on to Louisville, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Detroit. She’ll then make various stops in the northeast before venturing to the south again.

Beyonce’s “Renaissance” Tour

Recently, the mother of Beyonce’s half-brother Nixon, Alexsandra Wright, discussed the singer’s father and their child together. She revealed that she and her son used to live in a trailer in California near Beyonce’s $200 million home. “[He asks], ‘Why doesn’t that person love me?’” she explained about the child, Nixon. She went on to say, “Nixon has never had the luxury of being a normal child. Being related to someone famous smothers kids like him, and they lose their identity. I sit in the bathroom and cry sometimes because I just don’t know how to help him be his own person.” Wright went on to claim that she doesn’t feel guilty about having an affair with Bey’s father, despite the fact that he was married.

“I was not conflicted about the situation, because his marriage was not a functioning marriage,” she explained. Wright added, “I don’t think he told his family about me. It was a complex situation, and the family structure had been fractured for a long time.” The woman insisted that she has no hard feelings towards Beyonce, describing her as “a lovely person.”

Jay-Z Gifts Fan His Champagne At Renaissance Tour Stop

July 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jay-Z has a history of some tricky interactions with fans who invade his personal space. At a recent stop in Toronto on Beyonce’s Renaissance tour, a fan tried to get the rap legend’s attention and got something unexpected. In a video uploaded to TikTok, a fan is standing just a few feet away from Jay and tries to get a fist bump from him. Much to his surprise, he decides not to fist bump and instead gave the fan the glass of champagne he was drinking. In the caption, the fan expressed his disbelief at the entire interaction. ““I went up to #jayz and asked for a simple Dap and he gave me his drink!!!!! I was in disbelief and shaking afterwards!” he said.

Jay-Z has been alongside Beyonce for much of the Renaissance tour. He was there when she closed the European leg of the tour in Poland. He was also present in an Instagram post she dropped from Paris. The pair were taking some time to relax before she began the North American portion of her tour. Jay also had the chance to pop up at Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin’s lavish 4th of July party. The affair came with an all-white dress code and celebrities showed out in bulk. Though even in a sea of memorable fashion Jay-Z managed to stand out with a watch that caught everyone’s attention.

Jay-Z Passes His Drink Along To A Fan

Jay-Z has been in the news as much for his business deals as anything else recently. The sports branch of his Roc Nation company is making some moves to try and enter the soccer market. It started just a few days ago when the company agreed to purchase a major soccer agency in Brazil.

Now they’re going even more international. News broke yesterday that Roc Nation has reached a deal with Italian Serie A soccer. The partnership aims to bring Italian soccer into the sphere of North American sports via Roc Nation’s influence. What do you think about Jay-Z giving his drink to a fan at a Renaissance tour stop?

Beyonce Dazzles In First North American “Renaissance” Concert

July 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Beyoncé has finally made landfall in North America. After working her way across Western Europe for the past two months, the pop megastar kicked off the Renaissance World Tour’s North American leg in Toronto on July 8. As she had done with several stops in Europe, Queen Bey graced her followers with a glimpse of several of her concert outfits after the show.

After the Toronto show, Beyoncé’s social media showed off a dazzling chain-mesh mini-dress. Furthermore, they also released pictures of a camo-print leotard with a matching jacket. However, the comments were split between thirsting over the pop star, declaring their love for the show, and demanding justice for Pittsburgh. Beyoncé is scheduled to perform another show in Toronto on July 9 before starting to travel across the US. Her first American show will be in Philadelphia on July 12. Furthermore, the tour will end in Kansas City on October 1.

Pittsburgh Demands Answers About Cancelled Renaissance Show

However, not everyone is stoked about the North American leg of the tour. On July 5, it was announced that the August 3 show in Pittsburgh had been canceled. The official reason given was “production logistics and scheduling issues.” The Pittsburgh show had originally sat between stops in Foxborough, Massachusetts and Washington DC on the tour schedule. At the time of writing, no other information about the cancellation has been released. Elsewhere, shows in Inglewood, Seattle, and Kansas City were rescheduled but not outright canceled. The biggest disruption was moving the Kansas City date to the end of the tour. Originally, Beyoncé was meant to close out the tour in her hometown of New Orleans.

Understandably, Beyoncé fans in Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania are very upset about the show being removed from the tour. “I don’t think I’ve ever been this upset with someone I don’t even know,” wrote one fan on Twitter. The situation has gotten bad enough that Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey even released a statement about it. “We were fully prepared to welcome her to Pittsburgh and honor her with an official day recognizing her visit and accomplishments. We are in conversations with the promoter for the event in order to gain an understanding about what led to the cancellation, and if there is anything we can do as a city to find a new date or location for her show.

Beyonce Drops Exclusive New Tour Merch With Amazon

June 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Beyonce’s Renaissance Would Tour has fittingly take the world by storm. Every time she performs fans flood to social media to see what new outfits she’s debuted and which celebs were spotted in the crowd. Just last night she performed in Warsaw with Lizzo, Zendaya, and Tom Holland in attendance. Though Queen B has been touring in Europe for a while she gave her U.S. fans a treat this morning in the form of new merch.

In a tweet this morning Amazon Music announced the surprise drop of new Beyonce merch. The Amazon Music x Beyonce Collection Drop 1.0 appears to be the first in a series of new merch drops. The collection includes, two shirts, a sweatshirt, sweatpants, and a poster. It can be purchased exclusively from Amazon. While they are currently still available the expectation is that they will sell out quickly. Much of the original Renaissance merch flew off the shelves last year. That material was sold through Beyonce’s own website and included pieces that were completely unavailable after just a few hours.

Beyonce Unveils New Merch

Almost everything that has happened on the Renaissance Tour has been news worthy. Last week Beyonce narrowly avoided a major wardrobe malfunction during one of the stops. The quick thinking of one of her frequent collaborators on stage saved the moment. She’s also been donating money to various businesses along the way. The most recent donation helped save a North London restaurant from closing due to rising energy costs.

Queen B and husband Jay-Z also recently stopped by Paris for Fashion Week. They made an appearance in support of Pharrell at the Louis Vuitton fashion show. It was Pharrell’s debut collection as the Head of Menswear at the company and celebrities showed out in bulk. Also in attendance were Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Tyler, The Creator, Pusha T, and Offset. Jay-Z, Tyler, and even Pharrell himself took the stage to perform after the show. What do you think of Beyonce’s new merch? Let us know in the comment section below.
