Beyoncé has officially revealed her Cowboy Carter 2025 World Tour, though specific dates are yet to be announced, leaving her Australian fans eagerly anticipating a potential return to the country. It’s been over ten years since her last tour down under with The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour in 2013, which was a monumental success, grossing $40 million and drawing approximately 220,000 fans across 14 shows in Australia and New Zealand.
The final performance in Perth broke the venue’s attendance record for a single concert, attracting 14,758 fans, previously set by Pink. Meanwhile, her Auckland shows were also record-breaking, with 44,596 attendees over four nights, making it the fastest-selling tour of the year at Vector Arena and smashing previous attendance figures.
If Cowboy Carter follows the trend of her past tours, it is feasible to speculate that concerts could be scheduled in Australia around October-November 2025, aligning with the timing of her previous tours. Notably, Australia has become an appealing destination for country music, evidenced by recent Spotify data indicating that it holds the third-largest country music market globally, trailing only the U.S. and Canada.
Beyoncé’s shift towards country music has resonated well among local fans, as highlighted by the success of her album Cowboy Carter, which debuted at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart in April 2024. By mid-2024, the album remained strong within the ARIA Top 40 Country Albums Chart, indicating significant engagement from her Australian audience.
Although past speculation regarding concerts at the MCG stadium in 2024 did not materialize, excitement is building for what could potentially be a major stadium tour. With fellow artists like Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran recently setting attendance records in Australia, Beyoncé may be poised to follow suit.
For now, there are no official announcements, but given Beyoncé’s history of surprise reveals, fans should stay tuned for potential updates. Australian fans, known as the BeyHive, are encouraged to prepare for a tour that could mark a long-awaited reunion with the superstar.
