The "Renaissance World Tour" will kick off in Stockholm on May 10, travelling across the continent until the end of June.

It will then resume in Toronto in July before wrapping in New Orleans in September.

Beyonce released the chart-topping and critically-acclaimed Renaissance, her seventh studio album, at the end of July. The record is in the running for the coveted album of the year prize at this year's Grammy Awards, which takes place on Sunday.

The singer last performed at the lavish opening of Dubai's Atlantis The Royal hotel in January.
