Four years after their “On the Run” tour, JAY-Z and Beyoncé announced and retracted the joint tour’s second installment. July 30 was given as the original starting date, as confirmed both by Ticketmaster and Beyoncé’s Facebook, but were later taken down.
What happened?
Early this Monday, July 30 was given as the starting date, with a show at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, as confirmed both by Ticketmaster and Beyoncé’s Facebook. Both confirmations have since been deleted, although screenshots are known to have survived, as seen above.
At this time, representatives for both artists have not issued a statement explaining why the tour date was retracted or confirming what the new dates are.
So when is the tour actually coming out?
An official tour announcement is still expected to come out this month. JAY-Z and Beyoncé worked on material for a joint album before crafting their latest projects, LEMONADE and 4:44.
The upcoming tour will be the first time the couple has toured together since the 2014 tour, in which they played stadiums across North America and Paris from June through September 2014, when they played shows behind Beyoncé and Magna Carta Holy Grail.
According to People, an inside source gave the following statement about the upcoming tour:
“They will tour together starting this summer…They are incredibly excited. It took a lot of work to make this happen. It’s the best choice for their family.”
“[Blue Ivy, Sir and Rumi] will all travel together and have a fun family adventure.”
