Beyoncé is back! The singer has officially announced that she will be going back out on tour this spring – with five dates in the UK.

On Wednesday (1 February), the “Break My Soul” singer announced live dates for her Renaissance World Tour, following the 2022 release of her critically acclaimed album of the same name.

In January, the singer gave her first live performance in more than four years at a private party for the launch of the Atlantis the Royal hotel in Dubai.

Originally teased by the hotel to be part of “a weekend where your dreams become your destination”, Beyoncé’s surprise set consisted of 19 songs spanning her career, including a surprise duet of “Brown Skin Girl” with her 11-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy.

She did not, however, perform any material from Renaissance.

Beyoncé’s performance at the luxury Dubai resort was deemed controversial by some, due to strict laws on homosexuality in the United Arab Emirates.

She was defended by her father Mathew Knowles, who said that the singer had “united a really diverse crowd with her incredible performance overseas, bringing people closer, as she does best”.
