LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
"No words to describe that show. It was ART x 10th power on
steroids with a rocket booster." – Oprah Winfrey
"On the Run II is what happens when the term blockbuster just
doesn't quite do the spectacle justice." – Complex
"Pop's number-one power couple reaffirmed their dominance,
and the strength of their bond, at a hits-packed visually stunning
show…" – Rolling Stone
"…the biggest couple in pop are glorious and
charismatic…" – The Guardian
JAY-Z AND BEYONCÉ completed their critically-acclaimed
OTR II European and North American stadium tour in
Seattle, Washington last week,
after a four-month run of summer and fall shows. The superstars
kicked off their international outing on June 6 in
Cardiff, UK and performed across
48 shows in 15 cities across the UK and Europe as well as 24 cities in North America. Over 2.1 million fans across
the UK, Europe and North America attended the epic run of shows.
The full itinerary can be found below.
Shortly before their surprise collaborative album release this
summer, EVERYTHING IS LOVE, Mr. and Mrs. Carter began their OTR II
tour, showcasing their powerful, emotive stage-presence. The tour
featured songs from both artists' albums throughout the decades
including "'03 Bonnie and Clyde," "Drunk in Love," "99 Problems,"
"Ring the Alarm," "4:44," and "APESH*T."
The tour was presented by Live Nation Global Touring in
association with Parkwood Entertainment and Roc Nation. Citi
was the official credit card for the OTR II stadium
tour.
Beyoncé and JAY-Z continued their incredible philanthropic and
civic consciousness efforts during the tour's run this year. Fans
were given the opportunity to register to vote at every U.S.
Beyoncé and JAY-Z show during the OTR II tour through the tour's
partnership with HeadCount. Additionally, the BeyGOOD Initiative
and The Shawn Carter Foundation revealed the OTRII Scholarship
program, awarding over one million
dollars in $100,000
scholarships this back-to-school season to one qualified student in
each U.S. tour market, beginning in Atlanta. The Boys and Girls Club of America
was brought on board to choose the recipients.
The couples' last tour was in the summer of 2014 when Beyoncé
and JAY-Z performed six weeks of sold out stadium dates across
North America with their highly
anticipated ON THE RUN tour. The outing closed with two
international dates in Paris,
France that were filmed for an HBO special that received an
Emmy nomination.
