Beyonce Knowles, the pop megastar who dazzled a global audience of 104 million viewers during this year's Superbowl, has confirmed she will bring her Mrs Carter Show world tour to Australia in October and November.
Knowles, 32, who has been one of the world's best-selling pop artists for over a decade and is reputedly worth more than $300m, plays Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena first on October 22, before heading to Brisbane (October 28), Sydney’s Allphones Arena (October 31), Adelaide (November 5) and Perth (November 8).
She is due in Vancouver on November 30, so the schedule allows plenty of room for extra Australian shows to be added.
She last played here in 2009 and had a daughter, Blue Ivy Carter last year with her rap mogul husband Jay-Z.
The announcement means most of the main contenders for the fiercely-contested title 'Queen of Pop' will have toured Australia in the second half of 2013, bar Lady Gaga.
Pink is on tour now, Rihanna comes in September and Taylor Swift in December.
Known for her fierce onstage persona and big voice, Beyonce will wow crowds with glittering costumes, high energy dancing and visual effects including pyrotechnics and wire work.
Beyonce’s ticket prices range from $99.90 to $249.90 with pre-sales beginning on Wednesday for members of Beyonce’s BeyHive blog (beyonce.com).
General sales open 10am on Friday, July 19 via ticketek.com.au and the promoter’s website, livenation.com.au
