Photos: Beyoncé fans get ready for the ‘Cowboy Carter’ concerts at Soldier Field​on May 13, 2025 at 1:20 pm

Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour gallops into Chicago this week, for concerts May 15, 17 and 18, a performance-packed three days worth of boots, spurs and Beyoncé classics. Fans can anticipate the tour will arrive in Chicago with an immersive journey into the album’s inspirations. The “Cowboy Carter” album recounts stories of American history between bars of Western tales and horse-gaited rhythms.

The Southern-influenced work spurred a surge in Western wear and an interest in Black American history among fans. Brands such as Stetson and Levi’s are prominent fashion statements throughout the Cowboy Carter shows, as is Beyoncé’s personalized take on Southern country style, history and music.

Local Chicago fans say both their own roots and the “Cowboy Carter” album served as their outfit inspiration for the upcoming Soldier Field shows.
