NEW YORK, Dec. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- European dates have been announced for Beyonce's "I AM..." World Tour, beginning Sunday, April 26 in Croatia and running through Sunday May 31 at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast (please see itinerary following).

The most heavily anticipated concert event of the year, Beyonce's "I AM..." Tour will mark the artist's first full-length concerts since 2007's sold-out "The Beyonce Experience" and will premiere live performances of songs from I AM...SASHA FIERCE, her latest international #1 chart-topping album.

A #1 best-seller in the United States and Japan, I AM...SASHA FIERCE features the singles "If I Were A Boy" (#1 UK airplay/singles, #1 Norway singles, #1 Sweden singles, #1 South Africa airplay, #1 Korea airplay, #1 Brazil airplay and #1 Denmark digital singles) and "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 & R&B charts best-selling album and has spent three weeks at #1 on Germany's airplay-based club charts.

The world-renowned top designer, director and photographer Thierry Mugler will work as creative advisor and costume designer on Beyonce's "I AM..." Tour.

Beyonce's new concert production promises to showcase the music and film superstar, along with her extraordinary all-female band, performing musical hits, classics, and surprises in a newly-created high-tech state-of-the-art concert environment.
