The Bootylicious Diva Beyonce Knowles is coming to a town near you, for what should be a scorching hot showcase of song and dance.
Today, official tour dates were released for what will be billed as "The Beyonce Experience brought to you by Samsung and L'Oreal Paris."
Though she's officially kicking off the worldwide jaunt in Tokyo April 10, the North American leg will start with a live concert on July 6 at the Superdome in New Orleans, as part of this year's Essence Music Festival.
Today, her official website (WeLoveBeyonce.com) started hosting a two-week presale for Beyoncé's concerts in Ft. Lauderdale, Philadelphia, and Raleigh. The public on-sale for those three cities will take place the weekend of April 20. Confirmed tour dates below.
According to a label rep, the tour will showcase "the international music and film star, along with her sizzling all-female band, performing musical hits, classics, and surprises in a newly-created high-tech state-of-the-art concert environment."
On the heels of setting an all-time record for the biggest chart jump in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 -- with her Shakira duet 'Beautiful Liar' -- the former Destiny's Child front-woman released 'B'Day Deluxe Edition' this week.

MAN SOME OF YALL FOOLS HATE WAY TOO MUCH ON SOMEONE YALL DONT KNOW PERSONALLY...ALL YOU KNOW IS WHAT YOU SEE ON TV AND READ IN MAGAZINES. BEYONCE IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED ARTISTS OUT RIGHT NOW AND EVERYONE KNOWS THAT...THE GIRL CAN, SING, ACT, AND SHE IS FINE AND THOSE THAT DISAGREE ARE JUST HATING. LET HER DO HER THING AND IF YOU DONT LIKE HER TURN OFF THE RADIO WHEN HER MUSIC COMES ON, CHANGE THE CHANNEL WHEN SHE IS ON TV, AND LET HER BE. CUZ ALL YALL THAT ARE HATIN ON HER JUST WANNA BE HER AND NOW THATS "REAL TALK"...HOLLA

as for me i give beyonce her props. she's a sista. i got upset when she was trying to dis jennifer hudson.that made me look at her in a different way. i lost respect for b'.she tried to hold the next sista down.she is greety & triffling.she did'nt want jennifer to win that golden globe award. she wanted it for herself. she could'nt even give jennifer, what was do to her. a person like that is wicked. the girl was just trying to start her career and beyonce could'nt find it in her heart to welcome jennifer to showbiz. so people like that, i keep it moving. and god will take care of the rest. jennifer will be fine as long as she keeps her hand in god's hand.

B-DAY RE-RELEASE FLOPPED, BECAUSE THOSE SALES WERE FIGURED IN WITH HER ORIGINAL ALBUM,AND THIS IS LOW FOR A RE-RELEASE, USHER AND MARIAH DID WAY BETTER THAN THIS WITH THEIR RE-RELEASE, ALL THE SONGS ON THIS ALBUM IS GARBAGE AND THE VIDEOS ARE SO, SO CHEAP. BEYONCE REALLY NEEDS TO SETTLE DOWN, SHE IS LOOKING REALLY BAD BECAUSE OF THIS POOR SALES IF SHE WAS THE HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME, SHE SHOULD HAVE DEBUTED IN AT #1 ON BILLBOARDS WITH THIS RE-RELEASE, HER FANS BOUGHT ALL THOSE SONGS ON ITUNES FOR BEAUTIFUL LIAR, AND IT DID NOT GO #1 ON HOT 100. I WORK WITH HISPANICS AND LATINO CHILDREN TEENAGERS, AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO SHE IS. THIS WAS A WASTE OF HER MONEY. SONY WILL LET HER GO THIS YEAR AFTER HER LIVE ALBUM. SHE NEEDS TO GO AWAY, SHE IS NOT GLAMOROUS!!!! FLOP, FLOP, FLOP, FLOP, FLOP

I see Beyonce enough on TV, I couldn't pay to see her. She is so overrated that people seem to forget she's not the only female artist out their doing her thang. Beyonce maybe stealing some of their spotlght cause she wants to keep to it on herself. She knows she didn't like it when Jennifer Hudson stole her show. That's why she had to work so hard to get back on top cause her plan didn't work. She is not as Big as people make her out to be. She came from a group then split from them to be on her own. She used them girls like she's doing everyone else. She need to keep Jay-Z, to help her out, cause she wack. Most of her ideas come from him. I hope she knows that man Upgraded her...
