Beyonce has added a fifth and final date to the London leg of her Renaissance World Tour, sparking another buying frenzy.
Ticketmaster tweeted the big news on Tuesday afternoon, confirming the date at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 1 2023.
With a new total of 52 stops the tour is now officially the star’s biggest solo stadium tour to date.
The extra date sparked yet another scramble for tickets, with many incredulous at the lack of warning.
‘Now why would you put these on sale with zero warning, some of us have jobs!’ tweeted one fan.

‘Beyoncé giving London 5 dates is MAD!She is going to leave here a proper North Londoner,’ joked another.
Beyoncé’s Renaissance 2023 world tour comes six years after her last – the Formation World tour – and will feature songs from her seventh studio album, which contains the hit track Break My Soul.
The tour will begin in Europe this May before concluding in North America in September.
As with previous tours, Beyoncé will make her mark offstage, too, with BeyGOOD, the initiative she founded in 2013 to support people and programs around the world.
General sale tickets went live for the Halo singer’s UK dates at 10am on Ticketmaster and Live Nation – with thousands desperate to be in with a chance of seeing Queen Bey on stage.
Online waiting rooms were created by Ticketmaster and Live Nation and thousands were already in the queue at 10am when the tickets went live.
Venting their frustration, one wrote:
‘How are there 369,000 people in the queue in front of me for Beyoncé tickets I literally went on straight at 10’.

Ticket prices range from £56 for a seated ticket, to £106, while VIP packages can range from £1,960 to an eye-watering £2,400.
On Sunday night the songstress became the most awarded artist in Grammys history.
Beyonce won best R&B song, best dance/electronic recording, best dance/electronic album and best traditional R&B performance for Renaissance.
Fans had been hoping that the long-awaited release of Renaissance meant a tour would be on the cards.
There’s also potential for some very special guests to join her.
In putting the album together, she enlisted the help of such artists as Drake, Pharrell Williams, The-Dream, Skrillex – and none other than her own husband Jay-Z.
The dance-heavy album features 16 tracks, including the previously released single Break My Soul, which dropped last month.
