BEYONCÉ SNUBS AFRICA AGAIN

The megastar made the much-anticipated announcement on social media on Wednesday with a photo of her wearing a disco ball cowboy hat on a sliver horse.

Beyoncé will be touring parts of the world in 2023 to promote her album Renaissance.

The megastar made the much-anticipated announcement on social media on Wednesday with a photo of her wearing a disco ball cowboy hat on a sliver horse.

The artist draws heavily from influences in Africa, including Kenya-born Somalia-Britain poet Warsan Shire and panstula dancers. But African countries are unfortunately not on Queen B’s itinerary – again.

The last time Beyoncé was in Africa for a world tour was in 2009 with her I Am… album in Egypt and Ethiopia.

She has only come to South Africa as part of two festivals – the 46664 Nelson Mandela tribute concert in Cape Town in 2003 when she was still a member of Destiny’s Child, and then again the Global Citizen concert in Johannesburg in 2018 – and never list any of the continent’s countries on a leg of a world tour since 2009.

The first leg of the Renaissance tour will kick off in Stockholm in May this year and will end in September in New Orleans. More information about dates and countries for can be found on Beyoncé’s website. There has been no announcement for further dates and locations.
