It’s been seven years since Beyoncé’s last world tour and she’s getting ready to hit the road again! Queen B announced she’ll embark on the Renaissance World Tour across Europe and North America later this year, in support of her acclaimed seventh studio album.

Beyoncé announced 41 dates so far, including 15 in Europe and 26 across North America. She’ll kick the tour off with a concert at Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden on May 10, before heading to Paris, London, Barcelona, and Amsterdam and closing the European leg of the tour in Warsaw, Poland.

The North American leg will kick off in Toronto, Canada on July 8, with the Rogers Centre serving as a concert venue. She’ll go on to perform everywhere from Nashville and Chicago to Atlanta and Las Vegas, before finishing the tour on September 27.

Beyoncé’s last tour in support of her album Formation took place seven years ago and it also saw her perform solely in stadiums. The singer recently had her first concert in four years at a private party in Dubai, and reportedly received $24 million for her performance.

Beyoncé’s upcoming tour is meant to support her seventh album Renaissance, which is in the running for nine awards at the upcoming Grammys.
