With each new tour date, Beyoncé has changed her Instagram bio to confirm her location.

Fans anticipating her arrival in the North East spotted on social media she had changed it to Sunderland on Tuesday (23 May).

The Renaissance world tour is Beyoncé’s first in seven years.

She kicked off the tour in Stockholm, Sweden, with an explosive show in which she welcomed fans “to the Renaissance”.

The UK leg started off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on 17 May. Beyoncé also performed at Murrayfield in Edinburgh and is set to perform for five dates at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

US business magazine Forbes previously estimated the tour could earn Beyonce more than £1.6 billion.
