It has also been confirmed that those with tickets for her shows in Seattle and Kansas City will have to wait a little longer to see their idol perform after the original dates were rescheduled "due to production logistics and scheduling issues".

Taking to Twitter, Lumen Field said in a statement: "Due to production logistics and scheduling issues, the Sept 13th Seattle stop of the RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR has been pushed back by one day and will now take place Sept 14th. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date."

On Wednesday, Beyonce fans shared their frustration and disappointment after learning that her Pittsburgh stop would not be going ahead at all. It would have marked the singer's first performance in the city in eight years. 

Sharing a statement on social media, Acrisure Stadium, which was set to host the concert, wrote: "Due to production logistics and scheduling issues, unfortunately the August 3rd Pittsburgh stop of the RENAISSANCEWORLD TOUR will not be taking place. Refunds will automatically be issued at point of purchase."

Reacting to the news, one person wrote on Twitter: "I don't think I have ever been this upset with someone I don't even know, who tf dropped the ball." Another said: "I don't want a refund for the RWT in Pittsburgh I wanna go to the show! I had floor seats!" 

Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey tried to soften the blow and revealed he was in discussions with the promoters to try and find a solution. "We are in conversations with the promoter for the event in order to gain an understanding about what led to the cancelation, and if there is anything we can do as a city to find a new date or location for her show," he said in a statement.

Currently, there are no dates scheduled between her August 1 show in Massachusetts and her stops in Maryland on August 5 and August 6. The Renaissance World Tour will now end in Kansas City on October 1.
