Beyoncé announces summer 2013 North American tour dates

On Feb. 3 after her Super Bowl Halftime performance, singer Beyoncé announced headlining tour dates for the spring and summer of 2013. The North American leg of "The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour" begins on June 28 in Los Angeles and ends on Aug. 3 in Brooklyn. You can view a complete list of tour dates below.

During the North American leg of Beyoncé's "The Mrs. Carter World Tour" the singer will perform 22 shows over a five week time span. The title of the tour references her marriage to American rapper Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter.

In an issued press release it is said that this tour is expected to be bigger in scope than any of Beyoncé's previous shows. The tour will run for almost one year, and the second wave of dates are planned for Latin America, Australia and Asia. Tour dates for those countries will be announced at a later date.

Her performance on June 28 at the Staples Center will be part of the BET Experience, which is a three-night concert series. She will only headline the first night. Tickets for the North American leg of Beyoncé's "The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour" go on sale beginning Feb. 11 at Ticketmaster.
