Irish fans are up in arms after Beyonce released tour dates for her upcoming Renaissance tour, minus a date for our little green island!
The Single Ladies singer announced her monumental world tour earlier this week with pretty much every city, let alone country ticked off – except Ireland.
The tour was announced across social media with an image of the Grammy winner in a bedazzled bodysuit sitting on the back of a glittering horse, she finished the outfit off with a pair of sparkly fringe boots and a cowboy hat.

This blow-out tour marks her first in 7 years following her extravagant performance for the opening of the Atlantis: The Palm hotel in Dubai last month.
Fans were devastated when they discovered the star had skipped over Ireland and would not be playing any venue there, but it was the sight of one English city on the scedule that caused uproar among Irish fans.
Work announcing we’re at risk of redundancies & I’m here more upset that Beyoncé isn’t playing in Ireland.

Beyoncé concerts are extremely dangerous. Especially in the UK. Having attended multiple times over the last few years I have sustained real life changing injuries. I urge people not to attend

We literally let BEYONCÉ be a tourist in Dublin a few years back & no one ever bothered her once. And THIS is how she pays us back!? 😭 I CAN’T! 😭

the gall of Beyoncé to have “top of the morning” in I’M THAT GIRL and not come to Ireland

The usual cities like London, Manchester and Glasgow that artists flock to were again chosen by the Crazy in Love star, but it was the inclusion of one, Sunderland that had us shaking our heads.
We’re holding out hope she will add a date for her Irish fans but we may just have to prepare to flock to a UK show to get our renaissance fix.
