During her shows in London, Beyoncé was the first artist to play five shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with a capacity of 63,000 seats. In total, 238k people attended the five sold-out shows.
Before returning to the United States, Bey performed in Belgium, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Poland. Her first stateside show of the tour was in Philadelphia on July 12 and has just ended in Kanas City on October 1.
The tour was produced by Parkwood Entertainment, a record label founded by Beyoncé and promoted by Live Nation.
The superstar even celebrated her birthday on tour while performing in Los Angeles’s SoFi Stadium. Diana Ross led the crowd that exciting night in singing “Happy Birthday” and had shining flashlights on to celebrate the iconic singer.
