Beyoncé: COWBOY CARTER TOUR

CRITIC’S PICK:
Sun., July 13 & Mon., July 14
Beyoncé, Mercedes-Benz Stadium — Following a well-deserved night off, Beyoncé will be back at Mercedes-Benz Stadium for back-to-back nights on Sunday, July 13, and Monday, July 14. The Houston native’s acclaimed world tour has been not only a consistently amazing night of great music and performances, but also a thought-provoking production that grapples with the “American” in African-American history as well as the country’s tendency to overlook the contributions of Black music pioneers. These show dates serve as two of the last four stops of Beyoncé’s modern-day Chitlin' Circuit, and with tickets starting as low as $214 and $140 on Sunday and Monday, respectively, these dates offer a more affordable option for those wishing to witness the Cowboy Carter Tour in person. — joshua robinson
