That's not all: the performance, which will also be streamed on Netflix, will also be the first time Beyoncé has performed tracks from her latest album, Cowboy Carter, which she first revealed during February's Super Bowl.
Beyoncé released singles 'Texas Hold 'Em' and '16 Carriages' immediately after appearing in an advert during the game, with her album Cowboy Carter released the following March.
The album borrows from the country genre, and is the second of a planned trilogy that started with the house music-indebted Renaissance. Cowboy Carter is nominated for Album of the Year at 2025's Grammy Awards, where Beyoncé's up for a further 11 trophies, including Best Country album and Song of the Year for 'Texas Hold 'Em'.
