Seeing this everywhere. It aligns with the UK May dates we're seeing too as well as the tea about the early Feb announcement. 

 

Seems an announcement is imminent. 

Where did you see the UK dates? Do you have them?

I'd like to go to a UK show so I can visit as well but the ticket sale there is prob gonna be a bloodbath so Germany it is again for me, maybe NL/Spain as well

On another forum and someone quoted here a few pages back. 

I'm That Girl/Alien Superstar for her opening performance, POTS/Virgo mid show and Cuff It/Energy/Break My Soul for the closing performance after her AOTY win and the record breaking 9 win sweep.  Tour announcement on TV right after.

That must have really had an impact on her because she's had a pretty quick turnaround on tour DVD material for a long time now seemingly been training herself for it, even if we don't see what the end result time is until later. If you look at the footage that was released to news channels and media outlets during the IAWT but before it finished (one video from the Athens news comes to mind), she had the opening camera angles figured out nearly identical in timing to what would be on the final release minus her splicing 100 dates together.

 

If I remember right Jonas Akerlund and his wife had all of 2 weeks to deliver a concert film to HBO for the original On The Run, and I highly doubt that would've been possible without a Bey edit of her own in the wings, we saw they had short lengths of edited footage done that's leaked and that were featured in the tour/broadcasts ads.

Oh that's interesting about the Athens footage, I did not know that.

 

I would imagine that is all largely helped by the fact that Beyoncé knows where every camera needs to be and when, and that she approaches her performances understanding how the camera needs to best capture it. Coachella's live stream cinematography comes to mind too, though I haven't gone back and watched it since 2018.

 

As a bit of novelty, I decided to watch he 2016 VMAs Lemonade Medley recently...but a fan's camera version from the audience and it was truly captivating to see how everything came together. Watching the actual show it felt somehow a little more contained because you weren't as clear where the stages were or where she was heading to, etc. I found her hitting the camera with the bat to be especially interesting, because I never noticed that the camera operator actually fell to the ground, acting the part even after the initial smack.

So she is doing Stade after all?

 

And the May date lines up with the person who said she’s doing UK in May too. So she will start in EU like she did for OTRII?

 

The early Feb announcement also lines up with Mercurio’s tea of post Grammys being the reveal. 

Even though ENERGY is not one of my faves, I agree that a CUFF IT, ENERGY, BREAK MY SOUL medley would be THE ideal Grammys performance setlist...promote the singles, add an excellent [filler] track while displaying the transitional masterpiece the album is.

 

Then (if I had it my way), she could release the visuals sometime after, and then HEATED or ALIEN SUPERSTAR as the final single before an act ii summer release (one-year-anniversary?).

That’s a 40k venue  

When do y’all think Act II & Act III will come, especially since the other Acts will complete the “project”? Before, during, or after the Renaissance tour? I don’t believe she would do a separate tour for them.

 

Edited January 17, 20233 yr by Mr. Specialist

since there's been no other public performances....it makes sense that Cuff It and/or BMS will be performed & they should.

 

and i do think she will be performing Renaissance songs for the Dubai concert b/c why would she not? who would put together a new concert & ignore their current 6 month old album and their 2 latest global hits? most people will never know about this Dubai concert & there's no gaurantee that WE will even see anything from it. so nothing is being spoiled. plus any specialized performance for the Grammy's will have its own arrangement & set up and will be in HD viewing.

I think Act II will come in the middle of the tour & the additional legs will have an updated setlist ala MCSWT 2.0. Act III will probably come months after the tour has concluded & we'll just have the album...there may not be efforts for another tour until B8 (B10??).

 

The old Beyonce would do a separate concert special with just the 3 Acts so that we can hear every song live & her vision of how they all merge together ala Wynn, Roseland. But who knows if she's still that girl anymore.

Honestly anything is possible at this point. Didn't she launch ST before the very last show of Mrs Carter 1st Leg 

 

And then launch Lem 2 weeks before the Tour, and then launch EIL midway through OTRII.

Do we want a Cuff It performance for the Grammys or a possible third single? Definitely not Break My Soul, imo.

Any of the below. Ideally a third single or album track somewhere because it's clear Cuff It is doing well but not necessarily bringing people to the album 

 

Alien/Cuff It/BMS 

Alien/Cuff It

Cuff It/Virgo 

Alien/Virgo

And stade de France is a 70k one that she’s sold out like 5 times before within like 5 years. And now it’s been 5 years since her last broadcasted performance the demand is about to be insane 

Her Dubai concert is probably gonna be like the one in India. If she does perform anything from Renaissance it'll probably be like Plastic, BMS, or Virgo's Groove

I'm hoping for an Alien Superstar + BMS + Cuff It performance. Energy being thrown in will be cute. I'm sure she can pull it off if they give her 7-10+ minutes again. 

Cuff It > Energy interlude while she quick changes or she does a dance break > BMS is my guess

Right. I can’t remember what Yvette’s Instagram post was that implied annual releases. There was also a rumor that she will tour this year and in 2024. IF the Renaissance Tour will have multiple Legs, I think Act II will be released during the 1st Leg of the tour, followed by Act III during the 2nd Leg of the tour in 2024. 

Madonna providing six months' notice for an arena tour. Beyonce and her stadium tour?

Why are you shocked by this? She did the same for formation world tour and OTR2. I would even argue further and say this is the most she’s  ever been in demand

I wouldn't say its a shocking move for HER, but it's definitely not the right one. Formation Tour's short "warning" period was fine because it had the literal Super Bowl as promo (that commercial is iconic asf and still makes me gag thinking about it ). OTRII's short "warning" period is part of the reason why it struggled. 

 

I wish the delays hadn't happened and she announced back in November. Christmas gifting is an excellent method of selling tickets.

Yeah, I'm confused by this, even MCSWT was the same, although arenas.  I think they went on sale in February, and the first show was in April

Cuff It/Energy/BMS medley at the grammys, as she thanks the crowds and walks away it fades to black cutting to commercial. In all black and chrome text the words “We humbly invite you to the Club Renaissance World Tour. Tickets on sale now” illuminates the screen

And then we come back she’s accepting her award for AOTY
