Houston Beyoncé fans, rejoice: Queen Bey has added another show to her just-announced Renaissance World Tour.

As CultureMap previously reported, Beyoncé is returning to her hometown in a show originally planned for September 23 at NRG Stadium. Now, due to surge in ticket demand, a second show at NRG has been added for the following day on September 24.

This comes as tour organizers have added seven new dates to the North American leg of the tour, based on Beyhive buzz.

According to LiveNation, fan demand for Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour now exceeds the number of available tickets by more than 800 percent, based on current registration numbers in the Group A cities.

Even with these added dates, LiveNation expects a majority of interested fans "will not be able to get tickets because demand drastically exceeds supply," per a press announcement.

Beyhive fans who miss the second Houston show can try to catch Bey in Dallas two days prior to the Houston show, where she'll play AT&T Stadium on September 21.

Ticketing for the world tour dates go on sale Monday, February 6. BeyHive members will enjoy an exclusive presale, while other fans can register now with Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan technology here. Those interested can score tickets, schedules, and more information at beyonce.livenation.com and tour.beyonce.com.

Note to jet-setting Houstonians: The queen kicks off her world tour on May 10 in Stockholm, Sweden at the Friends Arena. She'll dot Europe with big stadium shows through June 27, where she'll play Warsaw, Poland.

Her North American tour starts July 8 in Canada, where she'll play Toronto's Rogers Centre. Beyoncé will trek the U.S. through the summer and into September; her Dallas and Houston shows are the sole Texas performances.

In a bit of a head scratcher, the Houston native will end her tour in New Orleans (Caesars Superdome) on September 27.

The world tour comes as Beyoncé is awash in Grammy glow: in November, she was nominated for nine Grammy Awards, tying her with her husband (neé Shawn Corey Carter) for the most nominations in Grammy history. Critics and fans have lauded Renaissance, her first solo work since the wildly popular and deeply personal 2016 effort, Lemonade — even through its minor controversy.

Def Leppard and Goo Goo Dolls team up for 2027 Houston tour stop

Def Leppard will co-headline a 2027 tour with Goo Goo Dolls, stopping at Dickies Arena on April 18.

It will be a rockin' good time when Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Def Leppard and Goo Goo Dolls team up for a co-headlining tour in 2027, which will include a stop at the Toyota Center in Houston on Tuesday, June 1.

The two bands, along with special guests The Struts, will set out on a 45-city journey through the U.S. and Canada, starting on March 2 in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

In addition to Houston, the tour will stop in Austin on April 13, Fort Worth on April 18, and San Antonio on May 29.

Def Leppard is celebrating its 50th anniversary as a band, having been founded in 1976 in Sheffield, England. The group released its debut album, On Through the Night, in 1980.

They went on to become one of the most successful bands of the '80s and '90s, scoring No. 1 albums with Hysteria and Adrenalize, and notching hits like "Pour Some Sugar on Me," "Love Bites," and "Let's Get Rocked."

They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.

Goo Goo Dolls started releasing albums in the late '80s, but didn't break out out until their 1995 album, A Boy Named Goo, which featured the hit song, "Name."

The group became iconic with hits like "Iris" and "Slide" off of the 1998 album, Dizzy Up the Girl, going on to release a string of top 10 albums.

Def Leppard's most recent release of new songs was Diamond Star Halos in 2022. Goo Goo Dolls put out its most recent album, Chaos in Bloom, the same year.

Tickets will be available starting with an Artist Fan Club presale beginning on Monday, October 12 at 10 am, followed by a Citi and Verizon presale for the U.S. dates on Monday, October 12 at 12 pm.

Additional presales will run ahead of the general on-sale, which begins on Friday, October 16 at 10 am at Livenation.com.

For every ticket sold, $1 will be donated to City of Hope, one of the largest and most advanced cancer research and treatment organizations in the United States, helping advance groundbreaking research and innovative treatments for people facing cancer.
