Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was a colossal occasion. Across five nights in summer 2023, the Beyhive descended on north London in their droves, decked out in rhinestones, cowboy hats and leather jackets for the megastar’s first world tour in seven years.
But, thankfully, she hasn’t made us wait that long again. Just two years later, Beyoncé is back at the stadium with more breathtaking stage production, flawless choreography and mesmerising vocals for the Cowboy Carter tour (full title: ‘Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Tour’).

Reviews
The reviews for the first two nights of the COwboy Carter tour are in. And they’re glowing. The Guardian called the show ‘a hugely enjoyable concert that adds a ferocious potency to Cowboy Carter’ while the Telegraph said ‘it was a show of spectacle and seduction, of bone-rattling volume and heart-beating musicality, of surprisingly hard-hitting politics and uplifting emotion.
Rolling Stone added: ‘It’s a spectacle for the ages, with one memorable moment seeing the singer mounting a gold mechanical bull and performing a magnetic dance routine atop it that demands the entire crowd’s attention.’
Are there any banned items?
As per Tottenham Hotspur Stadium’s policy, you can’t bring in food, liquids, umbrellas any bigger than 1m, flares, smoke canisters, air horns, laser devices, fireworks, professional cameras, musical instruments or spray paint.
