Despite rumors of marriage, beefing with folks about ‘Dreamgirls’ (she received Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress and Best Song this week) and really being 32 instead of 25, Beyonce is moving ahead with her tour plans. She will kick things off this Spring in Europe on April 30 in Frankfurt, Germany. She will tour all over Europe before finally ending on June 9 in Dublin, Ireland.
Once she returns from Europe she will begin a U.S. summer tour that will run until December, although the dates have yet to be announced.
"I go on tour the end of April until September," Beyonce recently told MTV News. "I love to tour. I love to perform every night. It’s kinda like I get to be my own director and do my own production. It’s exciting. I always try to find new dancers. I was given an opportunity and I like to give new people opportunity … so I have auditions all across America. It’ll be the same type of show: broken down with me singing, big production, and dancers and a band, the whole nine."
