Canadian Dates Announced for Beyonce's 'I AM...' World Tour

NEW YORK, Feb. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Beyonce will preview her "I AM..." world tour in late March 2009 with a quartet of Canadian concerts in Edmonton (March 26), Saskatoon (March 27), Winnipeg (March 28) and Vancouver (March 29), followed by a performance in Seattle on April 1, before launching the European leg of her tour on April 26 in Croatia (please see full itinerary following).

The most heavily anticipated concert event of the year, Beyonce's "I AM..." world tour will mark the artist's first full-length concert 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.

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

The "I AM..." world tour production promises to showcase the music and film superstar like you've never seen her before. Beyonce's extraordinary all-female band, The SUGAMAMAS, will join her again to perform musical hits, classics, and surprises in a newly-created high-tech state-of-the-art concert environment.
