The Show You’ve Been Waiting for: Is a Jay Z-Beyonce Summer Tour in the Works?

Jay Z and Beyonce are the biggest power couple in music, and people have always speculated when they would put all that power together into one show and tour the world. Well, rumors are suggesting that the time has come for Mr. and Mrs. Carter to do a tour together. As reported by pagesix.com:

“Jay Z and Beyonce are launching a stadium tour together after appearing as surprise guests at each other’s gigs recently.

“Sources exclusively tell Page Six that hip-hop’s royal couple plans to announce a 20-stadium US tour that will start in late June — and that it’s possible the couple could perform in New York on July 4.”

Jay Z and Beyonce clearly have a plethora of hits that they’ve collaborated on, and it makes perfect sense from a scheduling standpoint that they would eventually tour together.

Jay actually spoke about the possibility last year in an interview with radio DJ Zane Lowe:

“It’s always floating out there; it’s floating out there. We just don’t want to make it a schnick (gimmick). It has to be the real thing, and it’s slowly making sense, more sense every day. Every day it’s making more sense – as far as a tour, but not an album.”

If these rumors are true, it will definitely set the music world ablaze, and tickets can be expected to sell out in no time.

Neither Jay Z nor Beyonce’s camps have confirmed these rumors.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
