Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour lands at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 5, less than a month away, with six dates running until June 16. As fans gear up for the London shows, a viral tradition from her past tour is making a dramatic return.
Known as the ‘mute challenge,’ this moment sees entire stadiums fall silent when Beyoncé sings a single line. It started during her 2023 Renaissance tour, and it’s already sweeping her US dates once again.
During the song ‘Energy,’ Beyoncé sings, ‘Look around, everybody on mute’ – and crowds in the 2023 tour actually obeyed. For about five seconds, the entire stadium tried to stay silent before erupting in cheers.

This year, the challenge has taken on a new twist. Crowds now fall into silence during ‘Single Ladies,’ when Beyoncé sings ‘Now wait.’ At a recent LA show, fans immediately hushed before screaming in unison seconds later.
TikTok user @Paolatravell shared the viral moment, writing in the video caption, “We officially got our MUTE Challenge for the Cowboy Carter Tour.” She urged fans: “When Bey says , you better shut the hell up!”
Comments on the video hyped up the challenge for London fans, with messages like “Get ready, London!” and “Don’t fail us now.”
The ‘mute challenge’ became a fierce competition in 2023, as cities fought to deliver the most flawless silence. All signs point to the same rivalry unfolding again on the Cowboy Carter tour.
The TikTok video comment is flooded with fans ‘representing’ their cities, from “Paris we have to win this!” to “Chicago May 15th ITS OUR TIME!!”
If you’re heading to one of Beyoncé’s London shows, listen out for that key moment – your silence could make all the difference. Beyoncé will be performing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on June 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16.
Resale tickets are still available on sites like Viagogo and Vivid Seats, and VIP packages can also be found for select dates. These premium tickets are less likely to sell out, so there’s still a chance to grab a spot.
Sites such as viagogo, Stubhub, and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that ticket conditions often prohibit resale after initial purchase. Those tickets may not be valid for admittance to gigs.
Fans intending to buy tickets for live events through resale websites should check the ticket terms and conditions, to confirm whether resale is prohibited, before they buy. Ticket terms and conditions can be checked with the original seller, such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation. If resale is prohibited, tickets bought second-hand could be voided and admission to the event refused.
