Yeehaw, Beyonce is back in town this summer
We had Renaissance fever back in 2023 and now Beyonce is bringing country to the capital this summer. After kicking off the tour for her country album in the States – you’ve likely seen clips of her singing while riding a mechanical bull and of Blue Ivy dancing in a cowboy hat – her Cowboy Carter tour is pulling up to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for SIX nights this June.
When she last toured two years ago, many local economies experienced the ‘Beyonce Bump’, thanks to people spending on travel, accommodation, clothing, food and beauty treatments around the dates of her concerts. Now that Queen B is coming back, it looks like London could be in for another bump – you don’t wanna be turning up to the gig without some cowboy boots and fringe embellishment now do ya? And once you’ve got your look sorted, you can really get into the Cowboy Carter spirit by saddling up for one of these Beyonce-themed events happening around the shows.
Cowboy Carter: The London Rodeo
She may not be playing at Wembley Stadium but that’s not stopping BOXPARK from getting in on the Cowboy Carter action. The London rodeo is the official pre-tour party and will feature performances from drag queens Tayce and Cara Melle plus DJ sets from Neil Prince, Trojan Tyne and Vanessa Maria. Bisola Otun and GLOW will be on hosting duties and they’re expecting plenty of denim and rhinestones, so dress to impress.

Ride a Cowboy Brunch
While not explicitly Cowboy Carter or Beyonce-themed, this brunch at The Fable by Drake & Morgan will certainly get you in the country mood. Pop on your Stetson and head down for country anthems, line dancing, bucking bronco rides and dishes like glitter fried chicken with avo and hot honey, mac & cheese, and American cobb salad. You can also go bottomless by adding on an hour of unlimited Aperol spritzes, mimosas or Daddy’s Rack Whiskey lemonade.
