Beyonce announces UK dates for Cowboy Carter tour – here’s how you can get tickets

We reported that she would go head-to-head with Oasis for ticket sales – with millions of fans expected to rush to get seats to the shows.

A music source told us at the time: “Beyoncé is about to raise the roof. The demand for tickets will be just like Oasis’ and will rival the rush of fans to get their hands on a seat.

“2025 is going to be an incredible year for live music.”

Last year, Beyoncé’s eight-date UK stadium tour helped boost the economy by £8billion, with billions more set to come next year thanks to fans splashing cash on travel, hotels and eating out.

A source added: “Oasis and Beyoncé are top tier and demand for tickets will be fierce. Over seven million people tried to get Oasis tickets — and Beyoncé’s fans will be out in force too.

“This summer, major artists like Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Usher and Sabrina Carpenter are booked to play UK arena shows too.

“The boost to the economy is going to be phenomenal. This is what the public needs right now — something to look forward to.”

Catherine Shuttleworth, chief executive at marketing consultancy Savvy, said: “Cities fight to have Beyoncé playing because she sparks a huge influx of visitors ready to spend.

“Her tours boost hotels and restaurants and even salons as people want to look their best.”
