HOUSTON — The Beyoncé Renaissance Tour will be in Houston on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 23 and Sept. 24, 2023.
The Houston native has already performed in more than 30 cities, and based on videos posted to social media, it's more than a show.
Whether you're planning (or hoping) to be there - or you're looking to be as far away from the show as possible - there are some things you should know ahead of time.
When will the show start?
On average, the show will start about 3 hours and 15 minutes after the doors open. Parking lots at NRG open at 4:30 p.m., the Bud Light Plaza will open at 5 p.m. and NRG Stadium doors will open at 6:30 p.m. The concert is scheduled to start at 8 p.m.
How long is the show?
On average, the show will last about 2.5 hours. Be ready though, if you've followed the tour on social media, concertgoers say not to expect her to start on time. Looking at this Reddit thread, fans who attended previous shows said she'll likely hit the stage between 8:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.
What songs will she play?
