Beyoncé Makes History With Renaissance Tour Being Highest-Grossing Tour For A Black Female Artist


Beyoncé continues to make a name for herself and is building a legacy that will be known for generations to come.


As reported by Vibe, Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour has already taken in over $295.6 million in sales, making it the highest-grossing tour for a Black female artist, and has surpassed her Formation World Tour.

According to Billboard, the European dates of Beyonce’s Renaissance tour garnered $154.4 million with one million tickets sold across 21 shows. The first nine shows of the tour earned “Bey” the status of top-grossing touring act of May. Her five-night run in London earned $42.2 million from its 240,000 tickets sold, adding to the cumulative earnings of this history-making moment.


According to Vibe, Billboard also predicted that, based on the tour’s current track, it’s anticipated to bring in $415 million with 2.8 million tickets sold. Forbes, however, predicted that the entertainment icon is anticipated to make $2.1 billion from the Renaissance World Tour, outperforming Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour.


Beyoncé Twitter fanpage @BeyLegion shared their enthusiasm on Twitter posting, “After 33 shows reporting box office data, Beyoncé's #RENAISSANCEWorldTour has become the high-grossing tour of her career, with $295,676,504 in sales.


This becomes the highest-grossing tour of all time by a black artist, breaking the record set by her Formation World Tour.”

In terms of the overall top-grossing tour for a Black artist, The Weeknd holds that title with his After Hours Til Dawn Tour. The 64-city itinerary yielded $350 million in sales, exceeding Michael Jackson’s Bad Tour, which earned $311 million when adjusted for inflation.


This milestone achievement bears witness to Beyoncé’s continuing impact on the music industry and her extraordinary ability to fascinate audiences around the world. As the Renaissance World Tour continues to reach historical heights, it reinforces Beyoncé’s place in entertainment as a musical powerhouse and influencer of the culture.
