Upcoming Cowboy Carter Tour dates
Dates and live ticket listings appear here as soon as they are on sale. The guide below covers what to know before you buy.
Where the best seats were on this tour
The Cowboy Carter Tour is over: its last show was July 26, 2025, at Allegiant Stadium near Las Vegas, three months after it opened at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on April 28. For anyone weighing seats at Beyoncé's next stadium run, the 2025 layout is the best guide available.
Two pieces of staging set the seat map. The main stage carried a huge widescreen with a pyramid-shaped gap cut into it, which read from the front as a five-pointed star. Out on the floor sat a triangular B-stage (a secondary stage away from the main one), joined to the main stage by three ramps.
- Best overall: a raised seat facing the main stage near center, where the star effect on the screen lined up as designed.
- Closest for part of the night: floor sections near the B-stage and lower sideline sections facing it.
- Weakest: anything behind or tight to the main stage, since the screen was the heart of the show.
Cities and dates on the 2025 run

Multi-night stands pull an entire region into one stadium. If a future tour repeats the pattern, expect fewer stops and plan on traveling to the nearest one.
What the box office added up to
Billboard Boxscore, Billboard's tally of reported concert grosses, published the final numbers on July 28, 2025: 407.6 million US dollars from about 1.6 million tickets. That is the highest gross for any country tour on record, and the run broke 47 Boxscore records along the way. The five SoFi Stadium openers alone brought in 55.7 million dollars from more than 217,000 tickets.
The comparison with the 2023 Renaissance World Tour shows the strategy. Renaissance played 56 shows to about 2.78 million people. Cowboy Carter played 32 and leaned on long residencies, six nights in London and five each in Inglewood and East Rutherford.
Inside the three-hour, nine-act show
Each night ran about three hours across nine acts: Intro, Propaganda, Trailer, Showdown, Outlaw, Holy Daughter, Renaissance, a second Outlaw and Legacy. Songs came from Cowboy Carter, the 2024 album that won Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammys, and from earlier records including Renaissance.
The production relied on levitating platforms, robotic arms, pyrotechnics and a mechanical horse. A red Cadillac Eldorado flew above the crowd until it stalled in mid-air on the first Houston night, and a golden mechanical horse replaced it for the rest of the run. Blue Ivy and Rumi, her daughters, joined her for "Protector." It was her fifth tour played entirely in stadiums.
Presales, crashes and falling prices
A January 14 announcement was pushed back because of the Southern California wildfires, and the tour was announced on February 2, 2025. Sales came in layers:
- BeyHive fan presale: February 11 and 12.
- Artist presale: February 13.
- Card and carrier access: Citi and Verizon in the US; Mastercard for London and Paris.
Ticketmaster's site went down under the load, and ten more dates were added. Fans then reported paying widely different amounts for the same section in Atlanta; Ticketmaster denied surge pricing and said the tour had set prices before the sale (Axios, February 14, 2025). By the week of the opener, thousands of seats remained, some upper-level primary seats had dropped well below presale levels, and average resale sat under the Renaissance tour's average (SAN, April 24, 2025).
The takeaway for any stadium tour: when dates are added after a frantic presale, supply grows, and patient buyers can find sections cheaper than presale buyers paid.
Looking ahead to Beyoncé's next stadium run
As of October 1, 2026, the sources reviewed for this page showed no announced follow-up tour. Her recent habit is an all-stadium tour built around a new album, announced months out, with fan presales first. If that holds, the seat lessons above carry over: favor a raised, centered view of the main screen, consider floor or sideline seats near any secondary stage, and avoid the sections wrapped around the back of the stage.
The Beyoncé page carries current listings, and her official site posts tour announcements. For comparison with other stadium tours of the period, see The Eras Tour and the Music of the Spheres World Tour.
