Beyonce Announces 'Renaissance' Stadium Tour Dates (Variety)

Beyoncé will bring her Grammy-nominated album 'Renaissance' to stadiums around the world.

21, 2023 – St. Louis, MO – Dome at America’s Center Aug. It seems possible that a future “Renaissance” video project could be part of that deal as well. That blockbuster performance was later released as the “Homecoming” album and — via a It was an elaborate and highly theatrical performance — for which sources say she was paid some $24 million — with an all-female orchestra, a battery of dancers, a small lake, fireworks, a 50-foot hydraulic platform, three costume changes for the singer and a guest appearance from her and Jay’s daughter Blue Ivy, but no songs at all from “Renaissance” — a tease that could mean she’ll premiere one or two on the Grammys, or even save them for the tour.

House music has a strong presence in the Grammy nominations this year and the original creators in this historically underground genre are not mad about it.

House music, it’s a very positive music and I don’t want to hold it in in the underground.” I would like to see the same thing for house music, see some of the originators receiving lifetime recognition. “It’s hard for the Grammys to give awards to the underbelly of clubland.

In the 25 years the award has been given (with fluctuating names), over 50% of the time it has been a pop star that has walked off with it, slimming down the chances of a true dance/electronic artist winning. The Recording Academy acknowledgement of dance music as a legitimate genre deserving of its own categories took a long time. Its appeal is universal, but it takes a Beyoncé to spoon-feed it the masses. Stingily agrees, “As far as I can tell Beyoncé is a supporter and a fan of house music. “Not because of Beyoncé, but because of everyone who has touched the album who is deserving of recognition: Kevin Aviance, Honey Dijon, Luke Solomon. The remix nominations of the former two, from Purple Disco Machine and Terry Hunter, push the originals further into house territory.

To listen to Beyoncé's Renaissance is to walk through a museum. Prolific fine art curator Hans Ulrich Obrist described his archival work as “the protest against ...

And in the best course of events, it is both.” Beyoncé has dedicated her career to making both. Without her wealth and her team, Beyoncé the individual would not be able to make this art. The music is unimpeachably solid, and Beyoncé made efforts to ensure everyone who was brought into her museum was handsomely compensated for their contributions. Of course, this can be mutually beneficial and depends on who’s doing the connecting—Beyoncé associating herself with Diana Ross sends a different message than associating herself with Sia, or Madonna associating herself with Beyoncé. This is the Grammy voters’ opportunity to honor not just Beyoncé’s artistry, but her unparalleled skill as a curator. It’s entirely appropriate to question Beyoncé’s brand, but it’s undeniable that the ultimate product was created with an abundance of care. Beyoncé only won Best Music Video and Best Urban Contemporary Album in 2017, losing Album Of The Year to a famously contrite Adele. The array of genres in Lemonade came together to tell a story, and “Daddy Lessons” is a vital entry into both that narrative and Beyoncé’s entire oeuvre. The loss prompted a wide discussion about what kind of music the Grammys will vote for; not just the race of those behind it, but the methods used to make it. Especially in the internet age when anything and everything is available with a click, there is simply too much art in the world to sift through. There’s an obvious and documented trend of the Grammys awarding white artists over anyone else, but beyond that, the committees have demonstrated their ignorance about what Beyoncé is—not just an artist or a performer, but a curator of the highest caliber. And while Beyoncé has 28 Grammy wins to her credit—and a total of 79 nominations, including nine this year—she only holds one statuette in the show’s general categories: Song of the Year for “Single Ladies” back in 2010.

Beyoncé Is Going on Tour, and a Citi Card Can Help You Get a Ticket (NerdWallet)

Citi cardholders get early access to Beyoncé tickets, but if you don't have a Citi card, it's not too late to get one in time for the presale.

You will only have one chance to get your temporary account information, and you won't be able to access your account information again until the card arrives in the mail seven to 10 days later. The BIN number will serve as your passcode to access the Citi presale. After adding the card to your Ticketmaster account, you'll then have to complete the Verified Fan registration to access the presale. By then, tickets may be sold out and a Beyoncé concert will be the best thing you never had. You may also use the same Citi card to register for multiple dates if you're trying to catch Beyoncé more than once. Kicking off in Stockholm on May 10, 2023, the Renaissance World Tour will make 15 stops throughout Europe before coming to North America in July. Be sure to write that BIN number down or take a picture. Demand is sure to be astronomical for this global icon who hasn't toured since 2018. From there, Queen Bey will visit 24 U.S. Before registering for the Citi presale of your choice, you'll first need to add your qualifying Citi card as a payment option in your Ticketmaster account. The countdown for Beyoncé's latest tour is on, and if you have a Citi credit or debit card you can register for the ticket presale and secure your chance to see the Queen. Our opinions are our own.

Grammys, you have one job: Give Beyoncé album of the year (Los Angeles Times)

The math is clear, so let's start there. If Beyoncé takes home at least four prizes during Sunday's 65th Grammy Awards, the singer, songwriter, producer, ...

Smart, funny, joyful, passionate and so, so pleasurable, “Renaissance” is already the album of the year. “Seeing Beyoncé up there onstage holding that trophy — I do think that would help with the perception problem,” says Runcie. For one thing, the Recording Academy has never shown much love toward dance music in the major Grammy categories; its electorate of more than 11,000 music professionals contains plenty of players and engineers with a vested interest in preserving the practice of recording “real” instruments in carefully maintained physical spaces. As an institution, the Grammys have also proven suspicious of the kind of highly collaborative record-making involved in “Renaissance,” whose credited writers, producers and performers run into the several dozens. No Black woman has taken album of the year since Lauryn Hill in 1999 with “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill”; only two other Black women, Whitney Houston and Natalie Cole, have won the category in the Grammys’ 65-year history, an absurd distortion of their importance to the entire realm of pop music. Still, it’s not just critics banging the drum for Beyoncé; an informal poll of Grammy voters and industry execs showed widespread support for “Renaissance” to win album of the year. But the way “Renaissance” coheres, with its intricate transitions and clever callbacks, is the real wonder to behold; it’s by far the most album-y of the 10 LPs competing for album of the year. [in a conversation](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2022-11-15/the-dream-beyonce-grammy-nominations-renaissance-break-my-soul) last fall with The Times about his years of work with Beyoncé: “This is probably her best record. (You’ll remember “Lemonade’s” defeat, when Adele used her acceptance speech to say she shouldn’t have won.) Indeed, Beyoncé’s dozens of wins at the Grammys threaten to obscure the fact that pop’s most ambitious superstar keeps coming up empty in the ceremony’s top general categories; all but one of her 28 victories — for song of the year, which she took in 2010 as a writer of “ The formula for success in album of the year, which despite the fragmentation brought on by digital streaming is still the Grammys’ equivalent of best picture, has always been a shifting mixture of commercial might, critical acclaim and cultural impact. Appearances by and contributions from Grace Jones, Honey Dijon, Nile Rodgers, Skrillex, Syd, Sheila E., Raphael Saadiq and the late Donna Summer create a busy cross-generational conversation about love, sex, family and the quest for liberation that Jason King, incoming dean of USC’s Thornton School of Music, compares to the Oscar-nominated movie “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” If Beyoncé takes home at least four prizes during Sunday’s 65th Grammy Awards, the singer, songwriter, producer, dancer, actor, designer and hot-sauce lover will become the winningest person in Recording Academy history.

Beyoncé Tickets Aren't on Sale Yet. Scalpers Are Trying to Sell Them (Rolling Stone)

For years, fans have bought "speculative tickets" from resellers, who list tickets they don't actually own yet on resale sites. By Ethan Millman ...

VividSeats’ terms and conditions states that speculative ticketing isn’t permitted on its platform except for members of its “Zone Sales Program.” When asked about its Zone Sales program, VividSeats referred to it as a way for fans to “pre-order hard-to-find tickets.” Only “pre-approved sellers who have a track record of delivering value for fans” are allowed in the Zone Program, VividSeats said. ”It is an invaluable option for fans who want to be certain that they will have tickets to a high-demand event, and to be able to do so in an easy and convenient way.” SeatGeek states in its terms of service that “professional sellers” may be permitted to list speculative tickets for some events, but declined to comment further on the practice beyond their terms of service when contacted by Rolling Stone. Other times, scalpers are listing tickets they have no claim to — typically at a marked-up price when the event is in high demand — looking for a fan to buy the speculative listing while they get the actual ticket and pocket the difference. “As policymakers around the country consider ways to enhance competition and guarantee consumer protections for fans, it’s critical to note that an industry-wide open and integrated ticketing system would allow all ticket marketplaces to better regulate this practice.” Those tickets are sometimes listed on some platforms as “zone seats” where the actual seat number isn’t listed, which gives the sellers more leeway to find tickets for the buyer in the general area they selected. For some events, someone may have season tickets at a venue that could guarantee them access to a sporting event or concert, and they can sell tickets prior to an on-sale period knowing they’ll eventually own their ticket and can transfer it to another buyer. SeatGeek and VividSeats specify that only pre-approved sellers are allowed to list speculative tickets on their sites. It isn’t often easy for a regular consumer to tell when a speculative seller has access to season tickets versus when they’re selling tickets they haven’t secured yet. From a company-facing point of view, Berchtold worries that speculative ticketing pushes the false notion that resellers listing speculative seats already got tickets in advance, which causes more vitriol toward As of publication, some of the best seats for Beyoncé’s So-Fi Stadium show in Los Angeles in September are speculatively selling for $3,064 per ticket on VividSeats. Such a practice isn’t new, nor is it in any way unique to Queen Bey.
