Beyoncé, Rosalía and Raye really are the three artists giving me hope for pop music.

Same!

Super underrated performance.

This song was so big where I live. I was so confused when I realized it was only a European hit and not a worldwide one.

I just got goosebumps listening to Bigger and imagining a Rock-ified version of it as the opening song for the Act3 tour

I recently saw some footage of Adele's stadium shows in Munich and I wonder why Bey hasn't been using this format by now. For someone who prioritizes profit over attendance numbers and recently turned the schedule into residencies, why not building a stadium in NA and Europe and let the people come to your show from all over the continent? Maximizing coin per fan is also most likely the reason she refuses to tour other parts of the world, and this sucks so much.

I'm sure she'll do that even more now after the CC tour and we awarded her with that huge gross and less dates. But she should also apply that to places outside of NA/Europe. Pay for one big trip or order the stage assembled in the other continent to reduce cost. Mrs. Carter tour was huge in AU/NZ.

I never really understood why Adele decided to set up her own venue, in Munich of all places, instead of using a stadium — might have been a scheduling conflict thing. she also got some sort of tax exemption from Munich/Bavaria I think. it seems way more costly to build and staff a venue of that capacity, and it's exponentially more liability for the organizer.

Bey basically chose the model you're outlining for Cowboy Carter. the US is massive so we got 7 cities here and 2 in Europe (Paris for EU). considering how successful that tour ended up being, I could see her replicating it again. but it would be amazing to see her play Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Johannesburg, Sydney and Tokyo as well.

If she's doing a residency style tour then tickets need to be more affordable.

Also, I am still not ok with the dynamic pricing bu**s*** where we as fans get charged premium for wanting to secure tickets early, but the the rest of the tickets are sold at a fraction of the price.

Would somebody be so kind to give me an overview of confirmations/rumors on the new album?

Rosalía and Bad Bunny on the album because she saw the (faux) ATRL discourse that she has shitty demand in LATAM. Oh... motheryoncé.

@beyonceparkwood already starting the mess.

She could choose Rio or São Paulo in Brazil and people from all over Latin American would fly over for her

She's very annoying for not releasing ANY of her world tours. I've been waiting for her to release her tours since Formation World Tour but it's clear she has a plan or she's not happy with editing and won't ever make them see light of day.

well unless she changes her musical director that isn't happening, because what "countrified" version of her past songs did we get for her country tour

The moment people realize that Ticketmaster uses bots to create hype and the feeling of "i need to get it now or else im chanceless", we'll get rid of dynamic prices.

She can do residencies in LATAM and Asia. But I swear if she does this again in Europe… with so much demand per city and country… HELL NO

I stumbled upon a Rockversion of AHAP and my God did it SLAP. I miss pre-Pandemic-Yonce who would treat us with such beautiful renditions

That presale this morning was an absolute mess, they ended up closing the queue since so many were in it. As much as people hate on him, he is still a superstar in the rap community and definitely still has touring demand. There were so many people on my timeline trying to get tickets.

can we stop talking about gäy-z pLEASE

Well, yes and no.

With this Jay one I'm inclined to believe there is a degree of hype. It's just two shows. That means everyone from across America interested in going would be descending on the presale for those two shows. It makes the "demand" both feasible and believable.

I will keep saying this, and I promise I'm not ass-kissing Hive: The Carters know how to create buzz and are extremely skilled in spinning any perceivable shortcomings into gold. Make no mistake, they have shortcomings, but they are smart enough to never show their slip.

Jay is basically semi-retired rapper who is more revered for being a mogul. It's a given that he wouldn't be able to garner the hype he even had for the respectable-but-not-blockbuster 444 tour. But in doing these festivals and then spot shows, it generates buzz, will ensure contextual sellouts and if he wanted to double back and tour, there now is the illusion-turned-reality of "demand" that will ensure butts in seats. It's super savvy retail psychology.

Same with Bey. Make no mistake, she would have done numbers with CCT, but she was also coming off the huge RWT less than two years before. On paper, there was a very real risk of buyer fatigue. What did she/Live Nation do? Limited the dates and markets and effectively made the masses come to her. "Problem" solved.

I'm so intrigued by it all. Primarily because I feel like there are people whose entire jobs are somewhat invisible to most, but are the ones who make magic liek the above happen.
