Superstar Beyoncé took to the stage in London on Thursday, starting the run of six shows in the capital with a bang.
Queen B has already performed in numerous US cities as part of the tour, but Thursday night at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium marked her first 2025 performance in Europe.
Beyoncé at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium review: A 5-star, 39-track riot
Launching the tour in the wake of her Grammy success, Beyoncé made history at the awards ceremony in LA, becoming the first Black female artist to win Best Country Album at the Grammys, as well as scooping Best Album and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for her song featuring Miley Cyrus, titled II Most Wanted.
She is now the most nominated artist in Grammy history, with 35 awards.
Taking her music across the US and now to Europe, here’s everything you can expect from the Cowboy Carter tour.
Where is Beyoncé playing her new Cowboy Carter Tour?
Although Beyoncé visited several American cities – Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Houston, Atlanta, Washington D.C and Las Vegas – her European leg is not quite as far-reaching.
She will only visit London and Paris on the Cowboy Carter tour, with six nights in London on June 6, 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16, before heading to Paris on June 19, 21, and 22.
What time is she performing?
Doors to the stadium open at 5pm and Beyonce is expected to come on stage at approximately 7.30pm, according to the Tottenham Hotspur website.
However, Queen B arrived on stage at around 8.15pm on the first London night, similar to other Cowboy Carter shows that have already happened in the US.
Bars will close at 9.30pm and the stadium closes at midnight, with the show itself winding down between 11pm and 11.15pm.

How can I get tickets?
As of June 10, tickets are still available for all of Beyonce’s remaining London tour dates, starting from £97.50
Some people have suggested on social media that Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z’s ties to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs (aka Diddy) could have impacted ticket sales.
How do I get to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?
Visitors are advised not to drive to the stadium. However, there are a range of other transport options.
The stadium is in close proximity to four train stations:
There are also a number of buses that run up and down the High Road, including the 149, 259, 279 and 239. There’s also plenty of cycle parking around the stadium for those travelling by bike.
What has Beyoncé said about her new tour?
