Want to spend your Christmas with Beyoncé? This year, it’s possible. The singer announced that she will be doing a halftime show during the Houston Texans’ December 25 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Netflix will be streaming the special, but you can still watch Beyoncé from the stands of Houston’s NRG Stadium.
While tickets to the game have sold out, there are resale tickets available. Use your discretion when shopping, but ticket prices range from $207 to over $1,900. Here’s where you can shop them.
So what can you expect from the show?
Per Netflix, Beyoncé will be performing songs from her album Cowboy Carter live for the first time. The streaming company wrote that “Beyoncé is expected to feature some special guests who are featured on the Cowboy Carter album.” Beyoncé collaborated with Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Shaboozey, Linda Martell, Willie Jones, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy, and Reyna Roberts on the project.
This will be Beyoncé’s first major performance since her Renaissance Tour ended. Her two most recent albums, Renaissance and Cowboy Carter, didn’t have visuals when they were released. Instead, her live performances—including this upcoming one—are the visuals.
She explained the decision to GQ in September, saying, “I thought it was important that during a time where all we see is visuals, that the world can focus on the voice. The music is so rich in history and instrumentation. It takes months to digest, research, and understand. The music needed space to breathe on its own. Sometimes a visual can be a distraction from the quality of the voice and the music. The years of hard work and detail put into an album that takes over four years! The music is enough. The fans from all over the world became the visual. We all got the visual on tour. We then got more visuals from my film.”
