CC is a great album that I would love to see live, i'm just not sure I want another year focused on it when the era already began a year ago. we waited 10 months for the first performance for the album  and 9 months for renaissance  thats 1.5 years of renaissance era and 2 whole years of CC era. 2 tours and no visuals. I think its fair for most fans to want this era to be slightly different, that's all we're saying. If a tour is announced i'm sure most of us who can make it will still be first in line

 

for folks that complain about Beyhydration....why wouldn't you want daily new content coming in which is what the tours bring

 

this whole obsession over "visuals" is getting absurd amongst this portion of the Hive...do yall even watch Lemonade, Black Is King, ST like that these days?

If she tours it needs to be for act 2 and 3 together. act 3 is likely coming soon

Because some of us live in countries she never tours. So of course something like the visuals are more interesting to us since we can actually partake in them.

just because some of you are beating around the bush on saying you don't like CC ...that doesn't mean that others don't and nobody wants a tour for an album which sounds insane

 

Beyonce has toured for every album...what kind of sense does it make in your head that this would somehow be different?? she's released albums with accompanying tours on a 2-3 year basis and this era is no exception

 

her performance just caught the eyes of 50 million people on Netflix...for an album that ppl "supposedly" don't like. if 5% of those viewers buy tickets...then its another sell out tour

 

Act II has been known since February...its your fault if you didn't prepare financially for the likelihood of this tour announcement. You've had almost a year.

I can only speak for myself but I assure you it has nothing to do with the quality of CC. It is top 2 in her discography for me. It also has nothing to do with being financially prepared. It is not that I can't do it, I simply don't want to have to travel from Aus to EU/USA, like I have done with the FWT, RWT and Beychella, just to feel compelled to do it again once all 3 acts are out. I'd rather her keep it moving and do an ACTUAL world tour for the trilogy.

I would love to be proven wrong that the demand is truly there for a Cowboy Cater Stadium World Tour in the way it was for Renaissance or Formation but I'm just not entirely convinced at the moment. And that's even taking the 50 million + viewers from the Beyoncé Bowl on Netflix. It would be a much easier sell if it's billed as an Act 2 + Act 3 tour or a full on Trilogy Tour as others have mentioned imo. 

 

And I'm not putting the album down, I love and appreciate it even though it's not my favorite by hers.

Beyoncé will always be able to tour stadiums 

Don't fight y'all. We still have 6 days left!!! 

 

 

Beyoncé you evil woman! Look what your shenangians have done to your loyal bee's. Only if you communicated a little better! I'm sure you learnt about it in couples therapy 

I too wish to see the CC songs live - fully. In fact when I expressed how I felt that desire even after Beyoncé Bowl - some of y'all cussed me (no y'all didn't)- it was because I truly wish to see the songs performed in full. 

 

Especially the ones that we know B will chew up live - Ya Ya, Tyrant, AR, SHB, etc. 

 

But I also do personally feel a little fatigue(? - don't know why that word came to mind) with the idea of each act getting its own tour. Which basically means another year or so until act iii. CC is top 3 B albums for me. But there is a larger story she's creating, and I kinda want to see that vision unfold. That was what I felt B was leaning towards with the silence after CC drop and act iii hinting. 

 

Regardless. I trust her to do this trilogy justice - how she sees fit. But I do seriously hope that 14th Jan gives us something more than just a tour announcement (especially since I won't be able to attend it as it'll likely be NA and Europe over the summer again). 

there's a reason why Beyonce turned these into 3 different acts despite recording all of it at the same time. yall keep saying Act 2 + Act 3 should be toured together.

 

does a hypothetical Act 1 + Act 2 based tour make sense...seeing & hearing all that we have heard from both "Renaissance" and "Cowboy Carter" musically & their aesthetics? No.

 

so why assume that Act 2 plus an unseen Act 3 should be squished together and not deserving of their separate era spotlights?

The likely situation I see happening is her touring Cowboy Carter summer 2025, releasing Act iii February 2026 and then adding Act iii songs to finish off the tour in summer 2026. 

 

Similar to how Mrs. Carter World Tour promoted both 4 and ST. 
 

First leg of the tour will be majority CC songs and then second leg will cut half of them to make space for Act iii cuts. 

Also those of you who assume CC isn't interesting to the GP (so a tour won't be selling out) but whatever she has in act iii will be - we don't know how the last album of the trilogy will perform. Yes, we expect another number 1 album but we don't have guaranteed hits given she does nothing to promote the songs and this is likely to be another non-traditional Beyoncé album (if it's rock).

don't you think we would know something now if it was a tour? I know, there are for sure NDAs, but so many people are involved in a tour, with all the stadiums (that would have to be confirmed at the moment), crew, etc.. and no leaks?

girl bey has everything on lock wbk

she never lets anything leak again

A CC tour makes sense to me. She has tour for all her albums so far. 

 

Although CC is not in my top 3, I want to hear the highlights of the album in full : American Requiem, Daughter, Yaya, 2H2H, Sweet Honey Buckin, Tyrant. Songs like Bodyguard, Levii's, Flamenco, Just for fun could also be very interesting live. 

That would not be possible with a tour for 3 acts(or even 2 acts) , such tour makes little sense as Renaissance had an entire tour for itself. Maybe act I and II, still although that seems like a good idea, it's not very Beyoncé-like and with her perfectionism, the aesthetics will be very different. 

 

If she does tour for the album, I hope her team/she is better prepared than last time and she focuses this time on markets she hasn't done for more than a decade : Asia, Australia, Latam (or just Brazil), the European countries that she avoided last time (Ireland like, that was a strange decision). 

I personally dont like the idea of a CC tour because the album is slow. Its more cinematographic for me than tourable. There's a reason that the Beyonce Bowl consisted primarily of songs that are on the second half of the album. 

Thats why a fusion of act 2 and 3, if act 3 is Rock, makes more snese. It gives her more uptempos to choose and engage the crowd

This resonates with me. I agree that CC is incredibly cinematic (which is why I want its visuals more than Renaissance). But to me it also means that it will be incredible live. I truly think CC songs are begging to be performed live - far more than Renaissance. Either way, can't wait for us to go through with 14th Jan, curse out B for getting us hyped for a new business venture and move on xD

Some of you are still doubting beyonce's touring demand.......in 2025.

 

Girl

CC has more slower songs (or songs that one won't necessarily dance to) but all her previous tours feature ballads and mid-tempo songs in between the more dance heavy songs. It's not like Beyoncé's most iconic live performances aren't of slow songs either - people live for this ****. 
 

And just like she did with Rennie, I can see her bringing in songs from the other albums that fit the vibe (eg Daddy Lessons, Irreplaceable, etc.). This tour can be iconic!

Probably why her mind went straight to a residency instead of a full fledged tour. She already considered how this album would play out over a tour, kind of like how she trimmed "BEYONCÉ" and "LEMONADE" during 3 tours. People are literally making back to back post to cope with an idea that was never confirmed or alluded to.
 

Now, if my memory serves me correct, FWT was pulled together from Dec. 2015 up to its premiere in April, before the music or visuals were done (I believe in Jan or Feb). I say this to say, if Bey was planning a stadium tour for next Spring/Summer, it would not be impossible to birth a plan in the matter of a few months, but all of the tour rumors have been literally just rumors. The Sphere residency is the only live setting that was leaked and sort of confirmed by Bey herself. 

 

What Lady Di said here applies SO very much to Bey. Really profound way she put it and it certainly makes me all the more proud of how Bey handles her life 

 

 

Y'all are crazy, I want a tour, I always want a tour, and I want a whole separate tour for ACT III, and then hell, lets do a visuals tour and perform those, too

 

Did y'all not see the show she just did for Netflix?  Don't worry about it not being interesting, her tours and performances ALWAYS are.  Y'all think she can't mash up some classics and hits with this country songs?  Y'all think she can't speed them up? 

 

Also, what if she brings that big band though, and melds it all together ala Homecoming?! 

 

Sign me up please

There were tons of rumors last year about Vegas shows, and that very well could be what we get, last we knew she was in talks with MGM, although I wish the Sphere would have panned out.

 

We also heard rumors of her touring the UK in 2025 per reports last year, saying she was heading off with Oasis. 

i don't see how a tour for an album most people hate, with EU/US dates only, in this terrible economy and with her reputation kinda being in the gutter rn won't be a flop… 

 

i'd much rather see a vegas residency, see the songs performed live and have some new content to keep us busy over summer, then release act III and some music videos at the end of it and just tour everything next year; in other words wrap this trilogy nonsense up already

Touring act 1 and 2 together could have worked we would've gotten a completely different show though. She mixed my house into ya ya at the Beyoncé bowl and then into riiverdance x spaghetti lol her musicality isn't limited by genre. So yes she should combine the tours

I'm so glad renny got its own tour though. You can feel that the album and tour is special to her
