We were all itching to hear more of Beyoncé after listening to her (leaked) performance in Dubai earlier this year. But if you are part of the Bey Hive, you are in luck!
Beyoncé will be in Detroit on July 26 as part of her “Renaissance World Tour.” She will be performing songs off her recent album Renaissance at Ford Field.
This album was a huge hit when it was released; 16 of her songs hit in the top 100 of Apple Music and reached 43 million streams on Spotify.
