Flying car, mechanical bull… What can we expect from Beyoncé’s Paris concerts?
After setting the Grammy Awards stage on fire on February 2, Beyoncé shared some big news on Instagram for 2025: the Cowboy Carter Tour. She’s set to perform three shows at the Stade de France in Paris this June. With the tour’s opening concert just wrapped in Los Angeles, Numéro gives you a preview of what the “Queen Bey” has in store for her upcoming performances…

On December 25, 2024, Beyoncé once again proved she’s the greatest performer of her generation. During the halftime show of the NFL’s Christmas Gameday between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans, broadcast live on Netflix, Queen Bey stunned viewers with a medley of the best tracks from her latest album, Cowboy Carter. She upstaged the athletes with her phenomenal vocal range, charisma, and showmanship (arriving on horseback, dazzling dancers, her daughter joining her on stage, aerial stunts, a denim-covered car…).
Beyoncé, star of the Grammy Awards
This spectacular comeback, filmed in her hometown of Houston, was quickly dubbed the “Beyoncé Bowl,” igniting the internet with awe. Clad in a sultry white cowboy outfit, she danced flawlessly and performed her hits alongside big-name guests like Post Malone.
Later, at the 2025 Grammy Awards held on February 2, she stole the spotlight yet again. Queen Bey garnered 11 nominations and took home several awards, finally earning the coveted Album of the Year title, a long-overdue win after nearly 100 Grammy nominations throughout her career.
Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour, one of 2025’s most anticipated tours
While fans of the “Queen of Pop” were thrilled by her Grammy triumph, that wasn’t the only surprise. At the end of 2024, Beyoncé posted a mysterious teaser on Instagram showing her riding a white horse with the caption “Look at that horse,” and waving an American flag. She hinted at a January 14, 2025, reveal, later postponed to February 1 due to the Los Angeles wildfires.
That’s when she officially announced her Cowboy Carter Tour for 2025, a follow-up to her Renaissance World Tour.
Three Beyoncé concerts in Paris at Stade de France
In another Instagram post, Beyoncé revealed that the tour would stop in France, specifically Paris, with three shows at the Stade de France on June 19, 21, and 22, 2025. The tour will also visit cities like London, Las Vegas, New York, and Los Angeles. Rumors are swirling about a possible appearance by Miley Cyrus at the June 21 Paris concert. The former Disney star is expected to be in the city that day, and if confirmed, she and Beyoncé could perform their duet “II Most Wanted.”
A mechanical bull and flying car at Beyoncé’s Paris concerts?
While that remains to be confirmed, the Cowboy Carter Tour kicked off in Los Angeles on April 28 with a spectacular start from Queen Bey, known for her legendary performances. During the nearly three-hour show, Beyoncé sang all the major hits from her latest album.
Among the most memorable moments, she appeared suspended in a flying car high above her fans while performing her single “16 Carriages.” In another scene, she rode a mechanical bull to launch into the track “Tyrant,” dominating the stage in bold country-inspired looks.
Beyoncé even invited her eldest daughter Blue Ivy, to join her on stage. At just 13, she delivered an impressive dance performance, possibly following in her mother’s footsteps. Beyoncé’s other daughter, Rumi Carter, also made an appearance.
A new album from Beyoncé after her Paris shows?
Some are speculating that Beyoncé may soon release a new album the third and final chapter in the trilogy she began with Renaissance (2022). This one might lean toward rock.
For now, however, that’s just speculation. With the tour underway, Beyoncé likely won’t have time to promote a new album and aesthetic.
The Beyoncé Bowl (2024) is available on Netflix. Beyoncé will perform at Stade de France in Paris on June 19, 21, and 22, 2025.
