Beyoncé successfully launched her highly anticipated “Cowboy Carter” tour during two electrifying performances at NRG Stadium on June 28 and 29, 2025, despite a technical mishap involving her flying car prop.

The concert series kicked off with an extravagant pre-concert party hosted by Marriott Bonvoy, featuring gourmet catering that included creole crab roasted oysters, smoked salmon tartlets, and signature SirDavis cocktails. A DJ played curated tracks to energize attendees before they were transported via a private bus to the stadium.

Fans from various locations, including Faye Stuart, who traveled from Liverpool, expressed their excitement to witness the tour in the singer’s hometown, delighted to be part of an event themed around her country album.

Throughout Houston, several other establishments joined in the celebrations, presenting “Cowboy Carter”-themed experiences with live music in hotel lobbies and complimentary cocktails, creating a citywide festive atmosphere.

The “Cowboy Carter” tour, which began on April 28, 2025, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, features a robust setlist of 39 songs. It follows an extensive international leg comprising shows in London and Paris, where Beyoncé surprised fans with notable guest appearances, including Miley Cyrus and her husband, Jay-Z.

Despite the night’s complexities, the performance experienced a setback on June 28 when a technical issue occurred during the song “16 Carriages.” The flying car prop tilted midair, prompting Beyoncé to instruct her crew to stop the performance. She was then safely lowered back to the stage without sustaining any injuries.

After ensuring her safety, Beyoncé reassured her fans and expressed gratitude for their support, continuing the performance to the delight of the audience. This moment underscored her ability to connect with her fans even amid unexpected challenges, solidifying the strength of her performance.

The “Cowboy Carter” tour is a nine-city event traversing both the United States and Europe, with the grand finale scheduled for Las Vegas on July 26, 2025. Fans and critics alike are eagerly following the tour, anticipating the high-level entertainment and unique thematic offerings that distinguish this concert series.

Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” tour not only showcases her musical talents but also highlights the collaborative effort of various businesses, such as Marriott Bonvoy, in creating immersive experiences for fans. This combination of music and hospitality is proving to be a successful formula for elevating concert experiences in cities across the globe.
