From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Renaissance World Tour is the ongoing ninth concert tour by American singer Beyoncé. It was announced on February 1, 2023, in support of her seventh studio album, Renaissance (2022). The concert run began on May 10, 2023, at Friends Arena, in Stockholm, Sweden. It is her first solo tour since The Formation World Tour in 2016.

The concert is around two and a half hours long and is split into six acts, with Beyoncé performing the tracks of Renaissance in order, interspersed with songs from across her discography. The stage consists of a giant screen with a large "portal" in its center, and features sculptures, robotic arms and ultraviolet technology. The show received critical acclaim, with particular praise for the production value and Beyoncé's vocal performance. Dubbed a cultural phenomenon, the tour boosted both local and national economies.

Background

The tour was teased on October 23, 2022, when Beyoncé auctioned a ticket for an unspecified show. It was sold for $50,000 in a charity auction[1] at the Wearable Art Gala to support the WACO Theatre.[2] It included two tickets to the concert, first-class airfare, a three-night hotel stay, and a personal backstage tour led by Beyoncé's mother.[3] On February 1, 2023, Beyoncé announced the tour via her Instagram account.[4]

In March 2023, Business leaders in western Sydney began advocating for Accor Stadium to take priority over Allianz Stadium for a Beyoncé concert in New South Wales, due to Accor having twice the audience capacity to accommodate her ticket demand.[5] The possibility of Allianz Stadium securing a Renaissance World Tour concert has chiefly provoked the New South Wales government to end a 57-year ban on holding more than four concerts per year at the stadium.[6] The ban could be lifted as soon as October 2023 to allow the venue to host Beyoncé in 2024. The Premier of New South Wales said that this could bring local businesses "an additional $1.3 billion."[7] The concert cap has existed since 1965 due to noise complaints from nearby residents, but now the government is pushing to increase it to 20 concerts per year.[8]

In April 2023, Beyoncé rented Europe's largest indoor stadium, Paris La Défense Arena, in Paris, France, to rehearse for the tour.[9] Khirye Tyler and Dammo Farmer are credited as the tour's music directors, with Damien Smith as head of the music production.[10] Producer Amorphous assisted with the tour's musical arrangements.[11] Composer Emily Bear is the featured pianist for the tour.[12]

Journalist José Norberto Flesch reported in May 2023 that Beyoncé would tour Brazil between March and April 2024.[13]

Ticketing

Alongside the announcement of the tour, it was also announced that a public on-sale for the North American leg would initially not happen, with all initial ticket sales for the leg using Ticketmaster's Verified Fan system. In addition, all the cities in the North American leg of the tour would be split into three different registration groups that would all have different registration periods and on-sale times.

Jay Peters of The Verge noted that this spreading out of demand appeared to be an attempt by Ticketmaster to prevent an incident identical to the Ticketmaster–Taylor Swift fiasco that had occurred less than three months earlier, in which Ticketmaster crashed during the Verified Fan presale of the Eras Tour. Peters questioned how effective the strategy would be since people could sign up for each of the registration groups instead of just one.[14] In light of the mismanagement of Swift's concert ticket sales, and the U.S. Senate hearing it sparked,[15] the Senate Judiciary Committee tweeted from their official Twitter account, 'We're watching, @Ticketmaster,' in reference to the Renaissance World Tour.[16]

In light of this, Ticketmaster has implemented new policies to try and combat difficulty for concertgoers and to "create a less crowded ticket shopping experience for fans". Registration does not guarantee a ticket. Instead, a "lottery-style process" affects who is placed on the waitlist and who is given a unique access code after registering as a Verified Fan.[17] Tickets bought in European markets also cannot be resold on Ticketmaster for more than their original price.[18]

Production

Staging and lighting

The staging consists of two separate stages connected by a broad ramp: the A stage with a circle shaped cavity in the middle of a giant, flat screen; while the B stage is subdivided in a circumferenced structure surrounding the so-called VIP section "Club Renaissance", with an extension of the ramp acting as the radius of the layout.[19] It also features monumental sculptures and metallic tanks, mannequin-horses, robotic arms, pyrotechnics and ultraviolet technology.[20][21] Es Devlin Studio and Stufish Entertainment Architects were in charge of the stage design along with Beyoncé and her creative team, Parkwood.[22] The design process took around 18 months.[23]

Costume design

Beyoncé had multiple outfit changes throughout the show, under the styling of Shiona Turini.[24] The wardrobe features a silver beaded Alexander McQueen catsuit, a white bell-sleeved Anrealage gown that transformed into a multicolored masterpiece underneath a UV light, a custom silver Courrèges bodysuit with a striking circular cutout, a pearl-embellished Balmain bodysuit, hat and sunglasses, a metallic feathered frock courtesy of Coperni, a colorful mesh minidress by David Koma, a bejeweled Loewe bodysuit, and a bee costume by Thierry Mugler.[25] Additional accessories and jewelry were custom-made by Tiffany & Co.[26] Among the collection of designer pieces, MYKITA sunglasses are also part of the variety of ensembles showcased in the show.[27]

Beyoncé has regularly rotated in new looks at each concert, often honoring local designers at each stop of the tour, wearing Jacquemus in Marseille, Robert Wun and Stella McCartney in London, Iris van Herpen in Amsterdam, and a Fendi design inspired by the artist Antonio Lopez in Barcelona.[28][29] For the June 18 show in Amsterdam, Beyoncé celebrated the Juneteenth holiday by wearing exclusively Black designers, including Feben, Maximilian Davis for Ferragamo, Olivier Rousteing for Balmain, Ib Kamara for Off-White, LaQuan Smith, and her own Ivy Park collection.[30]

Women's Wear Daily reports that the Renaissance World Tour generated $187 million in "media impact value" for the various brands that Beyoncé has worn at the various stops along the tour, including $7.7 million for Alexander McQueen, $7.2 million for Tiffany & Co., $5.6 million for Balmain, and $3.7 million for Valentino.[31]

Synopsis

The show lasts approximately two and a half hours. It is structured into six distinct acts in which Beyoncé performs most songs from Renaissance in the album order, interspersed with songs from throughout her catalog.[32] As the audience enters the stadium, the colors of the LGBTIQ+ Progress Pride Flag are displayed on the screen in the form of SMPTE color bars.[33] While the tour was not advertised with an official opening act, guest DJs have occasionally performed sets before the start of the show in various cities, including surprise guest appearances by Arca at the Barcelona show[34] and MikeQ in New Jersey.[35]

The Opening Act is performed by Beyoncé herself, in which she sings R&B ballads from earlier in her discography.[36] Pink clouds are shown on the screen as an image of a glitching signboard rises, forming a picture of Beyoncé in a pose similar to Giorgione's Sleeping Venus. The singer rises onto the main stage to perform "Dangerously in Love 2" and welcomes the audience. "Flaws and All" and "1+1" continue the set before a cover of Rose Royce's "I'm Going Down". The Opening Act ends with a performance of "I Care".[37]

Beyoncé performing "I'm That Girl"

A visual interlude marks the next act as Renaissance,[38] showing a maximalist montage of intergalactic travel and robotic machines reminiscent of Fritz Lang's 1927 sci-fi film Metropolis.[37] This robot-themed segment of the show is interspersed with spoken word interludes from legendary commentator Kevin JZ Prodigy in an homage to ball culture. As the voice asks if the audience is "ready to serve" and "ready to slay", Beyoncé performs the first track from Renaissance, "I'm That Girl". Beyoncé then performs "Cozy" with two mechanical arms holding silver frames interacting with her as she dances.[39] She then performs "Alien Superstar", with elements of "Sweet Dreams", followed by "Lift Off".[36] The French dance duo Les Twins perform a dance break to "7/11".[39]

The party-themed Motherboard act starts with "Cuff It" and its remix inside the dome.[38] Making their way to the circular secondary stage, Beyoncé and her dancers then perform "Energy". The audience participates in a fan-made challenge in which they must go silent for a few seconds when Beyoncé sings the lyric "look around, everybody on mute";[40] each stop competes for who stays the most silent.[41][42] A massive, inflatable disco horse prop is wheeled out of the dome and onto the stage in preparation for "Break My Soul".[43]

Beyoncé on the silver war tank

The next act, Opulence, has an army theme.[38] This section begins with "Formation", which is followed by "Diva", making reference to rapper Lil Uzi Vert's viral dance on TikTok, and "Run the World (Girls)" on the ramp of the B-stage.[44] She then performs "My Power" and exits the stage, only to reappear on top of a silver war tank to perform "Black Parade". Remaining on the tank, she then performs "Savage (Remix)" and "Partition", after which the tank drives off stage, closing the section.[45] Beginning with the May 26, 2023, Paris show, Blue Ivy began joining Beyoncé onstage to perform choreography to "My Power" and "Black Parade".[39]

Following an interlude opening the church-themed Anointed section,[38] Beyoncé emerges from the dome in all-white robe that is struck by ultraviolet light to reveal a colorful pattern evocative of stained glass, which is then removed for a performance of "Church Girl", "Get Me Bodied" and "Before I Let Go".[46] Backing vocalists and dancers appear on stage to accompany "Rather Die Young". Beyoncé begins to perform "Love on Top", singing the final two key changes a cappella alongside the audience, before counting into "Crazy in Love", during which the dancers are dressed in white tank tops and denim jeans, recreating Beyoncé's outfit from the music video.[47]

Beyoncé inside a clam shell performing "Virgo's Groove"

After the band's choir perform "Love Hangover" as an interlude, Beyoncé returns to perform an undersea-themed act. This section features an oversized disco ball prop suspended above the crowd. Beyoncé is revealed inside a clam shell, reminiscent of Botticelli’s The Birth of Venus, in a bedazzled "hands-on" Loewe bodysuit. She performs "Plastic Off The Sofa" and a mash-up of "Virgo's Groove" with "Naughty Girl", during which Beyoncé also includes snippets of a number of her R&B songs, including "Say My Name" and "Dance for You".[48] "Move" is performed on the B-stage with choreography along with her dancers. During "Heated", the robotic arms return to holding fans, as does Beyoncé, fanning herself off while standing in a circle of microphones. The performance is accompanied by pyrotechnic columns. She then exits the stage as Les Twins then perform a dance break to "Already".[49]

On the May 10 and August 14, 2023 dates in Stockholm and Atlanta respectively, Beyoncé performed a special provocateur-themed section titled Memories Run Through My Wires. It is composed of "Thique", "All Up in Your Mind", and "Drunk in Love". The "Thique" performance is accompanied by a huge inflatable breasts prop and contains a "Toxic" sample as a shoutout to Britney Spears, while the "Drunk in Love" performance includes fireworks and seductive pole dancing, and ends with Beyoncé being lifted above the B-stage on a motorized tower, reminiscent of her controversial, viral performance in Dubai earlier on January 21.[39][50]

The penultimate act parodies a news broadcast, and is titled Mind Control.[38] Beyoncé appears dressed in a haute couture bee-inspired costume with a desk simulating a fictional news station titled KNTY 4 NEWS to start the act with "America Has a Problem".[51] Beyoncé then performs "Pure/Honey" holding a fish-eye selfie camera, and exits the stage as her dancers vogue in a ballroom battle to an extended outro of the song, with various members of the troupe taking turns displaying dance moves as the others cheer them on.[39]

Beyoncé atop a crystal horse on the encore act performing "Summer Renaissance"

Beyoncé returns seated atop a shiny life-size horse mannequin wearing a sparkly silver dress to perform "Summer Renaissance" as the Encore.[38] The horse is lifted above the crowd and flies Beyoncé in a circle as a victory lap, while silver confetti is released into the stadium.[39] She then thanks the crowd and exits the stage as the screen is left with a photo of her mother Tina and her cousin Jonny, a major inspiration behind the Black, queer sounds of the Renaissance album.[52]

Commercial performance

The Renaissance World Tour broke ticket sales records worldwide,[53] and may break the record for the biggest tour in music history, according to Bloomberg.[54] The tour has already become the highest grossing tour by a black artist in history.[55] The tour topped the May Boxscore report with a "massive" gross of $154 million, with Beyoncé being the first woman to achieve this in four years.[53] Forbes estimated that the tour could gross up to $2.4 billion,[56][57] while Rolling Stone described the tour as "one of the most in-demand concerts in recent memory".[58]

Presale

The first pre-sale in the UK on February 2, which was exclusive for O2 customers, was met with "overwhelming" demand and caused the O2 Priority website to crash.[59] Over 200,000 people were trying to purchase tickets for one of the London dates, of which fewer than 7,000 were available.[60][61] After fans voiced their upset and caused "O2 Priority" to trend on Twitter, O2 released an apology acknowledging the "huge demand" and reassuring fans that they are working to resolve the issue.[61]

A pre-sale on February 3, which was organized by Live Nation, saw over 3 million people trying to get tickets for dates in the UK, France, Sweden and Poland, which caused Ticketmaster to crash.[62][63] In the first few minutes of the second UK pre-sale, over 400,000 people joined the queue to one of the London shows, which then extended to over 800,000 people.[62][64] More than 600,000 people were in the queue for tickets to the Edinburgh show.[62] In France, over 260,000 people were trying to purchase tickets for the Paris show.[62]

General sale

Millions of people were trying to get tickets upon general sale in the UK, causing the Ticketmaster site to crash due to the "incredible" demand.[65][66] After more than 370,000 people queued for each of the two London dates, a third date was added. The third London date saw half a million people queuing for tickets, leading to a fourth date being added. The fourth date saw another half a million people joining the queue, leading to a fifth date being added.[67][65][68]

Beyoncé's shows in Paris and Marseille sold out within minutes, with hundreds of thousands of fans trying to buy tickets and the Stade de France site crashing.[69][70] Martin d'Argenlieu of Stade Vélodrome said that they had not seen such demand for a decade.[70] Additional shows were added in Amsterdam,[71] Stockholm,[72] and Warsaw[73] due to high demand for the first shows announced in those cities. Financial Times reported that economists at Danske Bank believe that Beyoncé's decision to start her world tour in Stockholm led to a surge in local hotel prices that resulted in inflation in Sweden exceeding expectations, further calling it "astonishing for a single event".[74]

According to Ticketmaster, the ticket demand exceeded the number of available tickets by more than 800% in Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, Summerfield, Atlanta, Inglewood, and Houston, to all of which additional shows were added consequently. Live Nation said that, despite the newly added dates, the majority of fans will not be able to purchase tickets: "Demand drastically exceeds supply".[75]

Venue records

Philanthropy

As with previous tours, Beyoncé is supporting communities in the cities she performs in. Throughout the tour, Beyoncé's BeyGOOD Foundation provides 1,000 small business owners from marginalized communities with grant opportunities, celebration luncheons, and resources to support entrepreneurship. Beyoncé is also donating scholarships worth $1 million to students in colleges and universities in cities along the tour.[82]

Tour tickets will be distributed to local community initiatives in cities across the US.[83] Free tickets to current and previous members of Women of Tomorrow, a group that works with at-risk young women, were also distributed.[84]

Critical reception

Beyoncé was praised for her stage presence and vocal performance

The tour received rave reviews from critics, who praised the spectacle of the show.[85] In a five-star review for The Guardian, Malcolm Jack declared the tour "the greatest pop show on Earth", pushing "21st-century live entertainment another lavish leap forward".[86] In another five-star review, The Scotsman's David Pollock described it as "the most essential stadium concert tour of the 21st century so far" and a game-changer for the music industry.[87] Neil McCormick, chief music critic for The Telegraph, also gave the show 5 out of 5 stars, remarking that "We've seen plenty of multimedia rock extravaganzas and state of the art pop spectaculars, but this was something else: a sci-fi stadium-scale superclub, the greatest disco in the known universe" while also praising Beyoncé's "absurdly powerhouse singing".[88]

Kitty Empire declared the tour a "masterclass", describing it as a "banging, progressive, LGBTQ+-embracing, Afrofuturist extravaganza" that encourages concertgoers to feel joyous and liberated.[89] Rolling Stone's Brittany Spanos described it as a "once-in-a-lifetime show", praising Beyoncé's vocal performance and crowd interaction.[36] In a review for the Evening Standard, Emma Loffhagen wrote that the tour pushes "the boundaries of 21st-century performance technology", with innovations including a UV-sensitive color-changing gown, a flying sequined horse and robotic arms.[90] Describing it as "one of the most incredible live performances in recent memory", Refinery29's Alexis Jackson praised the tour's "visually stunning" and "elaborate" stage design.[91]

Vogue writer André-Naquian Wheeler stated that Beyoncé "has upended the typical stadium show model and turned it into an ever-changing format", taking it "to unprecedented heights". Wheeler also analyzes the look of the show as an expression of "Renaissance’s ballroom-inspired sonic and visual aesthetic", a way for the singer to "use fashion as a medium to silently signal a connection and appreciation towards a culture or community".[28]

Following the tour's first North American stop, in Toronto, The New York Times labeled the show a "Critic's Pick", with Lindsay Zoladz highlighting "Beyoncé’s endurance as a world-class performer", noting that she "is the rare major pop star who prizes live vocal prowess".[92]

Impact

The Renaissance World Tour has had an impact, described as a cultural phenomenon by critics.[93][94][95] In an article for Yahoo News, Zayna Allen wrote that it is certain that "this is a tour that will go down in history".[96] Boardroom's Vinciane Ngomsi wrote that the tour "will have set a precedent for how to produce a show that millions are willing to spend large sums on".[97] Grazia journalist Aaliyah Harry said that the tour "spearheaded a cultural movement" by supporting and elevating the LGBTQ+ community and creating fashion trends.[98] A 30-year cap on concerts in Sydney's Allianz Stadium was lifted after Beyoncé's announcement of the tour.[99] This led to a "stadium war", with business executives petitioning Venues NSW to instead prioritise the larger Accor Stadium as the "best venue to secure Beyoncé".[100]

Economy

Revenue generated around the Renaissance World Tour contributed to inflation in the UK and Sweden, according to economists

The BBC said that the Renaissance World Tour "marks a big economic moment",[101] boosting countries' economies in a phenomenon dubbed the "Beyoncé effect", "Beyoncé bump", "Beyoncé blip" and "Beyflation" by experts.[102][103][104] The tour raised inflation in Sweden, due to the additional spending around Beyoncé's shows in Stockholm. Danske Bank Chief Economist Michael Grahn described the phenomenon as "very rare" and "astonishing for a single event", adding: "We haven't seen this before."[105] In the UK, the tour led to an unexpected increase in consumer price index which led to an increase in inflation by the Bank of England. The tour contributed to a 6.8 percent rise in recreation and culture spending, the fastest in 30 years, which the Office for National Statistics said was the biggest driver for the rise in inflation.[106][107] Morgan Stanley warned clients of a similar rise in inflation in the US, with global chief economist Seth Carpenter saying: "The Beyoncé effect should keep us from getting too complacent."[103]

The tour boosted local economies of the cities it visited.[108][94] QuestionPro estimated the tour could generate $4.5 billion in economic activity, which is similar to the revenue that the 2008 Summer Olympics of Beijing ($3.6 billion). Brett House, economist at Columbia Business School, said that the tour has helped create a "gentle cool-down" of economic activity in the US during the summer, instead of the usual abrupt stop.[94] Professor Tom Smith of Emory University's Goizueta Business School used the Renaissance World Tour as a case study in his lectures about events that have a significant impact on markets.[108] The tour's stop in Atlanta created an additional $10 million in revenue for local businesses.[109][108]

Tourism, hospitality, and transport

Hotel prices "skyrocketed" in Stockholm during the tour's stops in the city,[105] and the city's tourism board, Visit Stockholm, attributed high levels of tourism and almost full hotel occupancy to the "Beyonce effect".[110] More than 90% of hotels in the vicinity of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium were booked up for the dates of Beyoncé's shows in London months in advance,[67] and the price of hotel rooms in Sunderland soared by almost 600% for the night of Beyoncé's concert.[111] Hotel room prices soared in Edinburgh for the date of the concert, with the prices of hotel rooms increasing by more than 360% and occupancy reaching 95.1%.[112] In Cardiff, 95.7% of hotel rooms were booked up for the date of Beyoncé's concert.[113]

Washington DC's Metro extended services by 30 minutes for the concert. After a delay due to storm, Beyoncé paid the Metro $100,000 to stay open for an additional hour, covering the cost to run more trains and keep all 98 stations open.[114][115] There was also special transit organized for the concert in New Jersey, which included Beyoncé trivia, merchandise giveaways, and choreography practice.[94] Amtrak launched a new program to help concertgoers travel to the tour's US stops.[116]

Fashion

Demand for metallic clothing, inspired by Beyoncé's outfits, increased by almost 700%

According to Boardroom, the tour had a significant impact on fashion.[97] Lauren Cochrane, senior fashion writer at The Guardian, described Beyoncé's concerts as "the new designer catwalk".[117] Designer David Koma said that it was "amazing exposure" and "wonderful" to be part of such an "incredible, culture-defining event".[118] Koma added: "The visibility is incredible. Social media mentions, digital and print articles, and word of mouth – there’s an immediate rise in interest."[117]

Concertgoers were noted for creating outfits inspired by the show.[97] Retailers created and marketed clothing inspired by outfits from the tour.[97] The tour increased worldwide demand for silver and metallic outfits.[119] British luxury retailer Flannels, which Beyoncé partnered with to open a merchandise store in London, said that an increase in demand "was immediate" and that engagement continued to grow "with incredible momentum", noting thousands of viral social media posts, long queues and sold-out products.[117]
