base talk Will we ever see Beyoncé or Taylor Swift go on an arena (or even theater) tour again?

[Feanor]

 

They are the two most prominent female stadium acts, with probably the most stadium shows ever performed.

To see either of them live means you'll have to do it in a stadium setting with 40k, 50k or 60k+ other people and they have both mastered the "tourcraft" at stadium-sized venues.

 

But do you think we will ever see Beyoncé or Taylor Swift bypass the obvious benefits of stadium tours (fewer shows for more gross & tickets) and do another arena tour or even theater tour?

I could see one of them doing an arena residency, like 10 dates at the London O2 arena or something similar, but not a complete arena tour

[Donquizote]

Beyonce yes since her stadium tour always has certain dates with arena number. 

Taylor maybe no since the demand has always been huge

No.
 

I would love to see Taylor do arenas for a more intimate experience, but that's likely never doing to happen due to her insane demand.

 

Beyoncé will keep doing stadium tours, even if her audiences are arena sized.

[skeeyee]

I could see Beyoncé doing it once she's older and more of a legacy act. Especially if she cuts the dancing down to a minimum. I could see her doing 1 tour with small venues as a gift to the fans

No

 

Taylor fans in the US absolutely lost it trying to get tickets when the first batch of the Eras Tour went on sale. Just imagine the madness if she ever does a theater or arena tour  nope

 

I used to think she might eventually do theater shows like Madonna did but now I really don't see that happening.

 

[gab00]

Taylor gets the benefit of doubt and even so, artists come and go, she will eventually age and so will her fans, and she'll have to recalibrate. Nothing wrong about it

 

As for beyonce? Yeah, she is 100% going back to arenas eventually. 

[KatyPrismSpirit]

Maybe if they are over 65 years old

[Tusk]

Yes.  Example of a huge touring force doing theaters: Madonna

[Chartman]

How do both want to manage their careers when they are 60 years old? Maybe a residency, than a return to an arena.

You couldn't even put your thoughts into words properly.

 

OT: Not really. I think both are well past that point.

the lies  she hasn't stepped foot in an arena since 2014 and all her stadium tours are stadium only 

[Taylor fanboy]

Yes, they both may eventually.

as per usual with that person 

[Jay07]

I would love to see the "arena tour" with 45k attendance per date but still amusing to see the usual rush in on the first few posts yet still struggle to string a sentence together. 

 

I don't know about Beyoncé, possibly as an artistic choice. I know a Sphere residency was possibly discussed but fell through so we shall see.

[WSalgado]

Yes, when they are older probably. Stadium shows demand so much in terms of stage presence, it is natural that it will become more burdensome to them as they age, no need to be defensive about it 

[penguintim]

Yes, Taylor will have to downgrade to arenas after her backlash era bought on by Justin Baldoni/Blake Lively/Brittany Mahomes/Matty Healy/her private jet/the webstore variants/Charli XCX/Olivia Rodrigo/Brendon Urie/Kanye West/Cats (2019)/Her tweeting about International Women's Day in 2017 but not marching/Charlie Puth/The horse she hit with her car/Her discounting LWYMMD on iTunes to try and beat Cardi B for #1/etc etc

[skeeyee]

Got downvoted for answering the topic of the thread with my opinion 

[Oktober Knight]

Obviously, yes. Stars eventually fade.

[Cherish]

No, they're both too big now 

[Popboi.]

Neither before the mid 2030s at the earliest

 

Bey may have had lower than expected attendance but $10m per date is bigger than any female outside Taylor  she can book what she wants.

Probably not for years tbh. However, I'd love for Taylor to do a small intimate tour of like only the vault tracks after she wraps up the TVs. Where she talks about why each song was left off said album and little insights into them. 

[JonginBey]

No.

Taylor will keep doing stadium tours, even if her numbers are questionable.
