Beyoncé cancels Pittsburgh date prior to Renaissance tour kickoff in the U.S.
Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour will skip a beat in the U.S.
The Pittsburgh date at Acrisure Stadium slated for Aug. 3 has been scrapped, according to the venue’s official Twitter account, due to “production logistics and scheduling issues.”
Fans with tickets to the Pittsburgh concert will receive refunds from the point of purchase.
The show would have been the 11th of the U.S. run of the Renaissance tour, which kicks off July 12 at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field and will play stadiums in cities including East Rutherford, New Jersey, Detroit, Atlanta and Las Vegas before wrapping in early October at an also-rescheduled date in Kansas City, Missouri.
Beyoncé’s Renaissance extravaganza has been playing overseas since May 10 in Sweden in support of her seventh studio album, also called “Renaissance,” released in July 2022.

The megastar, 41, has been offering fans a multi-act-31-song set that draws heavily on her latest album – “Break My Soul,” “Cuff It,” “Plastic Off the Sofa” and “Virgo’s Groove” have been staples – but also targets her hits-packed career with “Formation,” “Run the World (Girls),” “Love on Top” and “Crazy in Love.”
Fans in Europe were also treated to the appearance of Blue Ivy, Beyoncé’s 11-year-old daughter with husband Jay-Z, who has been joining her mother to perform choreography to “My Power” and “Black Parade.”
