Beyoncé announced a new tour early Sunday in a social media post with the caption “COWBOY CARTER TOUR 2025” and a video displaying a lit-up sign with a similar message.
The tour will kick off in April in Los Angeles and make its way to Chicago, the New York area, Houston, Atlanta and Washington — as well as London and Paris.
The presale events begin Feb. 11, and general tickets go on sale Feb. 14.
Beyoncé postponed an announcement set for Jan. 14 because of the California wildfires and said her charity, BeyGOOD, was donating $2.5 million to support families in Altadena and Pasadena.
Beyoncé first performed songs from her album “Cowboy Carter” during the halftime show of a Houston Texans-Baltimore Ravens game on Christmas Day.
The game was streamed on Netflix, and the performance became available as a stand-alone special on the streaming platform.
Netflix wrote at midnight on X, “Look at that horse,” a reference to the song “SWEET ★ HONEY ★ BUCKIIN’” off “Cowboy Carter,” followed by a link to the watch the halftime show.
The last 15 seconds of the Netflix special now features flashing colors to the song, followed by a black screen with the phrase “Cowboy Carter Tour.” It was not immediately clear when the clip was added.
Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé’s label, responded to the post by Netflix, saying, “Saddle up, see y’all on the road.”
Two years ago, Beyoncé’s “Renaissance World Tour” was also announced at the beginning of February, which coincides with the beginning of Black History Month.
The new tour is set to be roughly half the length of the Renaissance world tour, which hit more than 20 U.S. cities and included more than 50 tour dates.
The Cowboy Carter tour includes 22 dates.
Beyoncé won three Grammy awards for “Cowboy Carter” on Sunday night, including for album of the year, a category that she has lost four times.
She received 11 nominations in total and also won awards for best country album and best pop duo/group performance for her song “II Most Wanted” with Miley Cyrus.
The album’s lead single, “Texas Hold ’Em,” which was nominated for record of the year and song of the year, has already achieved double platinum status.
“Cowboy Carter,” which was released in March, is Beyoncé’s eighth straight studio album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 200 album chart. It also topped the chart’s Top Country Albums, which made her the first Black woman to lead the country album list.
