Beyoncé is known to be a record breaker. Most recently the superstar broke a record for having the highest attendance at the Orange Velodrome stadium in Marseille, France. According to PopBase, Beyoncé had 58,000 attendees at the Marseille leg of her Renaissance World Tour.
This record beats out one previously set by the Rolling Stones. Before Beyoncé’s Marseille show, the Rolling Stones had the highest number of attendees with 57,409.
A String of Records
This latest feat in her career joins a growing list of records the “Break My Soul” singer has broken over the years. Earlier this year, for instance, Beyoncé broke the record for most career Grammy wins.
She won 4 awards at the Grammys bringing her total wins to 32. In 2019, Beyoncé also officially became the first Black woman to headline Coachella. Her performance has remained one of the most talked about Coachella events to date.
A Memorable Tour
Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour has been filled with endless moments of excitement and surprises.
Fans have lauded Beyoncé for the over the top designs of her stage setup, the stunning, futuristic outfits (all couture) and the fun, unconventional approach she has taken to her performances. She has even brought her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, along with her on tour to join her on stage to perform a number of times. This surprise appearance has positively increased excitement for the shows.
Forbes reports, that Beyoncé’s ongoing Renaissance Tour could potentially make $2.1 billion. Forbes estimates that the figure could shoot past the $1.5 billion singer Taylor Swift is predicted to make from her Eras Tour. According to Forbes, “Those eye-popping estimates are based on the most optimistic assumptions of the number of fans buying tickets at their concerts and high average ticket prices of about $700.”
