Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER Tour debuts to sold-out LA crowd with kids Blue Ivy & Rumi by her side

Beyoncé’s highly anticipated COWBOY CARTER TOUR roped in a capacity crowd on Night #1 Monday evening in Los Angeles — and then some.

In a celebratory post on X, Parkwood Entertainment, management, production, entertainment company founded by Beyoncé herself, triumphantly declared, “SOLD OUT. COWBOY CARTER TOUR Los Angeles Night #1,” marking the start of what’s shaping up to be one of the season’s hottest live music events.

Live Nation Concerts had teased the festivities back on February 11 via Facebook, promising, “Here’s everything you need to know for Beyoncé’s COWBOY CARTER TOUR,” complete with five Ticketmaster images detailing presale dates and seating tiers.

Following the inaugural Los Angeles performance last night, the tour returns to SoCal for shows on May 1, May 4, May 7 and May 9 before heading to Chicago (May 15, 17, 18) and New Jersey (May 22, 24, 25, 28, 29).

A European leg follows, hitting London June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14 and 16, and Paris June 19, 21 and 22, before Beyoncé swings back stateside for Houston (June 28 and 29), Washington, D.C. (July 4 and 7), Atlanta (July 10, 11, 13 and 14) and wraps amid the neon glow of Las Vegas (July 25 and 26). Tickets remain available via Ticketmaster for those looking to join the musical hoedown.

As social media lights up, fan accounts on X have been sharing electrifying clips. @beyoncegarden captured Blue Ivy Carter — Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s eldest — serving “COMPLETE CVNT DUEING HER SOLO TO BEYONCÉ’S DEJA VU,” while parody feed @beyoncepress showed Ivy dancing alongside her mom. An earlier post from @beyoncegarden even featured all three Carters — Beyoncé, Blue Ivy and seven-year-old twin Rumi — onstage together. Rumi and her brother, Sir Carter, born June 13, 2017, complete Beyoncé’s trio of children.

Named for Beyoncé’s genre-spanning eighth studio album, act ii COWBOY CARTER (released March 29, 2024), the tour finds its roots in an eclectic mix of country, R&B, folk and more. That album, buoyed by chart-topping singles “TEXAS HOLD ’EM” and “16 CARRIAGES,” saw Beyoncé make history across multiple charts, becoming the first Black woman to hit No. 1 on both the Hot Country Songs and Hot 100 with a country tune.

With raw guitars, organic textures and even the sounds of nature woven into the live production, COWBOY CARTER TOUR promises a back-to-basics, high-voltage celebration of pure musical joy — no filters attached.
