BeyGOOD, the initiative founded by global cultural icon, Beyoncé, in 2013, to support people and programs around the world, is now BeyGOOD Foundation, a 501(c)(3) public charity.

The entertainer, who made history recently as the artist with the most Grammy wins, founded the former initiative to make a difference in communities along the 2013/2014 Mrs. Carter World Tour. Ten years later, BeyGOOD has focused on a wide range of issues including education, disaster relief, food, water and housing scarcity, mental health, and career development in the United States, Africa, Europe, South America, and the Caribbean.

With the global public health crisis in 2020, the uncertainty of many small businesses and the growing need for economic support in communities, Beyoncé established the Black Parade Route to highlight and support Black-owned small businesses in the US and abroad. More than 900 small businesses were provided with grants and/or highlighted on socials.

"I am hugely proud of the work we have done over a decade at BeyGOOD, here in the US and around the world," said BeyGOOD founder, Beyoncé. "From scholarships to the water crisis in Burundi, to helping families during Hurricane Harvey in my hometown, Houston, it has been beyond fulfilling to be of service. Now as a foundation, we will continue the work of engaging partners through innovative programs to impact even more people."

Rehearsals for Beyonce’s upcoming world tour are well under way - and the star is pulling out all the stops to ensure her performance will be ‘groundbreaking’.

The Renaissance World Tour will be 41-year-old Bey’s first solo world tour since her 2016 Formation World Tour and is due to kick off next month in Stockholm.

She will take in dates across Europe, the UK, and North America - seeing her performing through to the end of September.

And while tickets have controversially cost thousands for fans to snap up, it seems no expense is being spared in preparation for the live dates.

According to The Sun, Bey is currently hard at work in France perfecting her dance moves and set manoeuvres.

The Halo singer has booked out the La Defense Arena in Paris to use as her practice ground - with the stadium twice the size of London’s O2 arena and capable of seating 40,000 fans.

To help as many concertgoers get tickets as possible for Renaissance World Tour, the tour is adding new shows in Atlanta (8/14); Las Vegas (8/27); and Inglewood, CA (9/4).

Unique access codes will be sent to Verified Fans who were previously waitlisted and did not receive a code for these cities during the BeyHive and Citi Verified Fan Presales, and Verified Fan Onsale as determined by a lottery-style selection.

Demand is still expected to exceed supply. Please remember, receiving a code doesn't guarantee tickets.

Even more new dates have been announced for The Renaissance World Tour! Tickets go on sale tomorrow (February 8) at 10 AM.

May 11: Stockholm, SE (Friends Arena)
June 1: London, UK (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium)
June 3: London, UK (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium)
June 4: London, UK (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium)
June 18: Amsterdam, NL (JC Arena)
June 28: Warsaw, PL (Pge Narodowy)

Beyoncé has announced her first tour since 2018 — and while fans are thrilled, some of her former dancers might be sweating.

“With a world tour comes a whole new staff and that includes the dancers, bandmates and backup singers. It’s out with the old and in with the new,” pointed out one insider.

“Her last tour was the ‘On The Run Tour II’ back in 2018 with Jay-Z. So she will be sure to deliver– but with a new tour comes a brand new staff so she has been auditioning a whole new team.”

The diva’s “Renaissance” tour will kick off its North American leg on July 8 in Toronto, we previously reported, with subsequent stops in US cities including Chicago, New York City, Boston, Atlanta, Miami, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Houston and New Orleans, among others..

“The old dancers are free to audition once again to regain their spots but Beyoncé will be more open to fresh new young talent taking on the reigns,” said an entrainment source.

“She is looking for young women and men — and also a few new band members as well — to take on the new positions on her team.”

Beyoncé has added seven extra North American dates to her ‘Renaissance’ world tour.

Pre-sales for tickets began on February 2 and in response to “incredible fan demand”, the singer will play extra shows in Toronto, Chicago, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles and East Rutherford.

Demand in certain cities exceeded available ticket numbers by over 800 per cent.

Registration for the BeyHive pre-sale for Group B and Group C cities is still open at beyonce.livenation.com.

You can see the full list of dates below:

As with previous tours, Beyoncé will make her mark offstage, too, with BeyGOOD, the initiative she founded in 2013 to support people and programs around the world. BeyGOOD will continue its legacy of philanthropy, building out this focus on economic equity by supporting organizations that serve marginalized and underserved communities with access to scholarships, opportunities for internships that lead to job placement, and resources to support entrepreneurship.

In various cities throughout the tour, BeyGOOD will support entrepreneurs through Black Parade Route luncheons, celebrating small business owners, with grant opportunities being awarded and a foray of services with global partners to promote business sustainability. One thousand small businesses will be supported with a commitment totaling one million dollars.

BeyGOOD will also support students through scholarship funds that will be given to colleges and universities in ten different cities along the tour. Each school will be given one hundred thousand dollars and will select the student recipients. BeyGOOD’s total scholarship commitment during RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR will be one million dollars.

Working with Beyoncé and the BeyGOOD Foundation, Citi and Verizon will purchase 100 tickets combined in each market across the U.S. touring leg for distribution to local community initiatives.

A noted partner with Beyoncé, Tiffany & Co. is the official jeweler of RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR. Tiffany & Co. has a longstanding commitment to conducting itself responsibly, sustaining the natural environment, prioritizing diversity and inclusion, and positively impacting the communities in which it operates.

Beyoncé is set to bring her Renaissance world tour to Australia next year.

Daily Mail Australia can reveal that tour promoters have been working hard to try and bring the American super star Down Under and that 'dates have been locked in'.

A well placed industry insider let slip that the Destiny's Child singer will soon announce Australia and New Zealand dates.

'They've been planning it for a while and dates have been locked in. It's 100% happening, an announcement is imminent,' the insider revealed.

The Grammy award winner is set to pocket millions when she headlines shows in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth before playing shows in Auckland.

Beyoncé's Renaissance tour will kick off in May, with the Break My Soul singer expected to visit towards the end of 2023 or at the beginning of 2024.

Beyoncé announced her long-awaited tour for her seventh studio album "Renaissance" on Wednesday to kick off Black History Month.

The album, which debuted in July, is an ode to Black queer culture. Disco anthems, soulful ballads and sexy lyrics are packaged together in "Renaissance."

"RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR 2023," she shared on Instagram.

Beyoncé's world tour kicks off in May and ends in September. Ticket information is available on her website.

Superstar singers Beyonce and Madonna will go head-to-head this summer as both stars embark on global tours.

Former Destiny’s Child singer Beyonce, 41, is expected to announce dates for the European and US legs of her Renaissance stadium tour early next month.

Beyonce will hit the road as early as May, performing to crowds of up to 80,000, sources revealed.

It is not known whether she will play Wembley, but insiders claim the Single Ladies singer has bagged the Stade de France near Paris for May 26.

A US source said: “Dates have been booked and arrangements are being made. Bey and her team have been rehearsing in secret for weeks to make sure the show is perfect.

“She is known for her incredible performances and she has been working hard to make sure this is her best tour yet. With Madonna touring and Taylor expected to follow suit, Beyonce is determined to stand out from the crowd.”

The source said a taped live show and documentary may follow, adding: “Beyonce wants the show to be camp, uptempo and fun as well as slick and arty. will be the biggest travelling party of the summer.”

SINCE she announced her tour earlier this year, Beyonce has given very little away about her upcoming shows.

But The Sun can now reveal that the Break My Soul singer has been busy behind closed doors getting her team in Formation.

And to make sure her band, dancers and crew are on top of their game for the duration of next year’s Renaissance tour, Queen Bey wants a strict no booze or drugs policy.

She is also conducting strict #MeToo checks with every member of staff to create a safe working environment.

A well-placed mole tells me: “Bey knows the new performances will require intense choreography and precision, so everyone has to be clean and sober.

“There won’t be any crazy partying on the road either.

“She is also carrying out #MeToo checks with the dancers, band and crew with hopes doing so will make the tour a safe and friendly work environment.

Beyonce attended the WACO Theater Center's 5th annual Wearable Art Gala on Saturday, October 22, 2022 at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, CA. During the event, a Concert Ticket Package for the 2023 Renaissance tour was auctioned off! Check more details below.

Please do not be alarmed, remain calm.

Beyoncé is taking her new album, “Renaissance,” on the road, multiple sources confirm to Page Six exclusively.

One insider reveals that the “Cuff It” singer, 41, is booking stadiums around the world for the summer of 2023. A second source teases that an official announcement can be expected in the coming weeks.

Beyoncé’s rep did not respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

Beyonce’s new album Renaissance promises to be ‘dramatic’ with the singer using the pandemic and her marriage as inspiration, Metro.co.uk can exclusively reveal.

The Beyhive woke up to twerk-worthy news on Thursday with Beyonce finally confirming the arrival of her new music.

Renaissance, her seventh studio album, will be a two-part project with Act I set for release on July 29 and available on various streaming services, with Spotify, Apple Music and Tidal among those promoting the news on their platforms.

It’s set to become Beyonce’s first album in six years following the release of the Grammy-nominated visual album Lemonade in 2016, and is expected to precede a set of pop-up shows across the UK this summer.

In an interview last year, the 40-year-old singer explained how she used the Covid lockdowns as an excuse to hone in on writing the album, and now an insider has revealed exactly what we can expect from the new era of Beyonce.

A source told us: ‘She played some of the new records for some friends and the consensus is that it’s her happiest body of work to date.

‘It’s a natural continuation from her last two records because she wrote them out of her desire to find peace in the world and in her marriage. She is in a place where she feels like that is possible, and wrote songs which reflect where she is with her faith as a Christian.’

With almost no tours having been undertaken in the past year, the Pollstar Awards pivoted in two different directions for the 31st annual edition of the show held Wednesday night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel ballroom. One shift in focus was to deliver awards to the top touring artists of the last decade, instead of the year, in different genres. Another was to give out possibly one-time-only awards that were specific to 2020-21, but focus on artists and execs who were innovators, either in finding different ways to perform live or who made a difference philanthropically.

Beyonce won as the top touring artist of the decade. Rob Light, CAA’s head of music, accepted on her behalf and read a statement from the singer in which she wrote, “2020 has taught all of us that the touring community needs to be cherished and is the backbone of our industry.” Beyond thanking a list of cohorts that included Jay-Z, “my ride-or-die,” she gave a shout-out to her ticket-buying fans: “You sing all the choruses, you go hard on the choreo, and I see you every night.”
