Beyoncé has kicked off her run of UK ‘Cowboy Carter’ dates in London. Check out the full setlist and footage below.
The pop star announced details of the world tour earlier this year, with the dates celebrating the release of her huge country-inspired album ‘Cowboy Carter’. The stint kicked off with a run of North American tour dates, and yesterday (June 5), continued with the first of six UK shows.
The dates for the UK all take place in the capital, held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The remainder of the UK dates will continue on June 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16, before the singer heads over to Paris for three shows at the Stade de France.
For the UK opening night, Bey kicked off the tour with ‘AMERIICAN REQUIEM’ from her latest album, before going into her cover of The Beatles’ classic track ‘Blackbird’, and a cover of John Stafford Smith & Francis Scott Key’s ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’.
From there, other tracks from ‘Cowboy Carter’ followed, including ‘PROTECTOR’, ‘LEVII’S JEANS’, ‘SPAGHETTII’, ‘JUST FOR FUN’ AND ‘RIIVERDANCE’. Other songs from the album included the hit lead single ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’, DAUGHTER’, ‘II HANDS II HEAVEN’, and ‘TYRANT’.
The full setlist contained an impressive 40-tracks, and also included other huge songs from across the singer’s earlier discography. For example, ‘Crazy in Love’, ‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)’, ‘Love on Top’, ‘Irreplaceable’ and ‘If I Were a Boy’ all came in quick succession, and were followed by the cover of the Dolly Parton country classic ‘Jolene’.

“Beyoncé gave us ENERGY!! She loves us! And we got new outfits and other change ups. Videos don’t do this woman’s beauty justice. Absolutely stunning as always,” one concertgoer wrote after the event, while another took to social media to share: “The crowd is singing word for word. A legend. The greatest living entertainer.”
“The vocals, the visuals. Incomparable. ‘Cowboy Carter’, London night one,” a third wrote. Check out more fan reactions below.
The tour kicking off on this side of the pond comes as reports started to circulate in April that some shows had seen prices drop due to low ticket sales. In the US, some cities such as Las Vegas, had two additional shows added to meet the demand, but places like Los Angeles reportedly had 3,800 standard tickets still available for each show.
Standard tickets for the first LA show were available from $85, while resale tickets had dropped to as low as $35. Similar circumstances were seen in Atlanta – which had nearly 6,000 unsold tickets – and New Jersey, which had around 5,500 remaining spaces.
Live Nation denied reports that Beyoncé is having trouble selling tickets, and claimed to Billboard, that 94 per cent of tickets for the tour have been sold.
For last night’s show in London, the stadium appeared to be sold-out.
When Beyoncé last hit the road in 2023, celebrating her ‘Renaissance’ album, the stint became one of the highest-grossing tours of all time, taking in a reported $579million (£455.7million) in revenue.

She also became the first Black woman to have won the Best Country Album prize.
