Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour is finally underway, with the long-overdue winner of Album of the Year at the Grammys kicking off the show in Los Angeles. She will stop off at Chicago, New York, Houston, Atlanta, Washington D.C and Las Vegas, before taking to the stage in London and Paris for her only non-US dates.
And just because the tour – which comes two years after the Renaissance World Tour – has already kicked off, that doesn't mean you can't still get tickets.
Where can I buy tickets to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour?
Surprisingly and despite having less dates, tickets for Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour are moving much slower that her Renaissance tour. For those of us here in the UK, tickets are still available for all six shows at London's Wembley Stadium.
Tickets are available to purchase on Beyoncé's official website or via Ticketmaster. Be quick to snatch up those last remaining tickets, as they are expected to fly off the virtual shelves now photos and videos of the show are spreading online.

What did Beyoncé say in her Album of the Year acceptance speech?
Despite being the most decorated artist in Grammy history, until 2 February, Beyoncé had never won the coveted Album of the Year prize – something that became a well known part of her lore as an artist. She said she felt 'honoured' to finally win, beating Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, Charli XCX, Andre 3000 and Jacob Collier.
'Wow, I really was not expecting this. I want to thank God that I'm able to do what I love after so many years.'
She went on to say, 'Genre is a code word to keep us in place as artists, and I just want to encourage us to do what we're passionate about. [...] It's been many, many years and I just want to thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all the hard work.'
She is the first Black woman to win the award since Lauryn Hill won with The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1999.
