If any artist is not lacking in crowd-pleasing hits, it is Beyoncé – a fact she has more than proven with her current tour setlist. Queen Bey is bringing her latest project, Renaissance, to the masses with a show that is as high-energy, campy, and club-ready as the album itself.

Beyoncé plays through the album in its entirety on the tour and pads the time with fan favorites from her past albums. Not a second is wasted on filler material. Each of the songs curated by Beyoncé for the setlist is a tried-and-true show-stopper.
Standouts from the Renaissance portion of the setlist include “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM,” during which she dons a bee costume and flits around the stage with her backing dancers. Elsewhere she proves why she has become the cultural icon that she is with a performance of “MY POWER.” The moment is made all the more impactful when her daughter, Blue Ivy, joins her on stage for a choreography break.

The beginning of the setlist sees Beyoncé showing off her vocal range. In case you forgot, she has quite the set of pipes. Performances of ballads like “1 + 1” and “I Care” double down on that already very well-known fact.
For the most part, the show is comprised of up-tempo, dance-inducers. Renaissance is similarly energized, so it makes sense why Beyoncé would choose to keep the same intensity throughout the accompanying stage show.
