MINNEAPOLIS — For fans crazy in love with Beyoncé, the countdown is on to her Renaissance World Tour stop in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Queen Bey herself last performed in the Twin Cities in 2018 during her "On The Run II" tour with her husband, rapper Jay-Z. Nearly five years later, Beyoncé is bringing her greatest hits and new music to the University of Minnesota campus for an open-air show that's already shown the world she's that girl.
Beyhive, here's what you need to know before you get in formation.
When is Beyoncé coming to Minneapolis?
Beyoncé is bringing her Renaissance World Tour to Huntington Bank Stadium, home of the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers football team, on Thursday, July 20. It's the first solo tour for Queen Bey in more than six years.
On Thursday, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey issued a proclamation declaring June 20, 2023 as "Bey Day" in the city in honor of her "successful and undeniably Flawless career."
Are tickets still available?
Tickets are still available through Ticketmaster, the official ticker provider for the Renaissance World Tour. Prices currently range from $50 for upper-level seats to $465 for the floor. Tickets for B-Hive and VIP sections on the floor are close to $2,000, and standing-room-only spots in "Club Renaissance" are $1,125.
There is a four-ticket purchase limit for the concert through Ticketmaster.
Where's the merch truck?
Renaissance merch goes on sale at 2 p.m. Thursday outside the stadium near Gate E. Only debit, credit and Apple/Google mobile payment options will be accepted.
What time does the show start?
There are no opening acts for the show, so plan to get to Huntington Bank Stadium on time. The show starts at 7 p.m.
How do I get to Huntington Bank Stadium? Where should I park?
On-Campus parking will be available for the concert at $30-$50 per space.
- Stadium adjacent lots: $50
- Nearby surface lots: $40
- Parking ramps: $30
Concert-goers can also access Huntington Bank Stadium via the Stadium Village stop on the Metro Transit Green Line.
The final train leaves the Stadium Village station at 11:38 (eastbound) and 11:46 (westbound) on weekdays.
However, Metro Transit says it plans to "operate unscheduled trips after the concert on the Green and Blue lines. As with past big events, the timing and frequency of those trips will be determined by the time the concert ends and the level of post-event demand."
Can I bring bags into the stadium?
If a blinged-out bag is part of your Renaissance Tour outfit, make sure it's a small one. Huntington Bank Stadium allows the following:
- A clear tote that doesn't exceed 12" x 6" x 12"
- A 1-gallon, clear, plastic storage bag
- A small clutch or purse that's about the size of a hand, no larger than 4.5" x 6.5"
Purses, backpacks, clear backpacks, printed patterned plastic bags, mesh bags, oversized totes, tinted plastic bags and fanny packs are not allowed.
What's the Renaissance Tour setlist?
Beyoncé wrapped up the European leg of her tour in Warsaw at the end of June. Now that she's back in North America, there's potential that some songs could change, but here's a look at the 40-track setlist the 32-time Grammy-winner (and most nominated female artist of all time) has been serenading thousands of fans with across the globe, according to Glamour.
