I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.

  • ‘16 CARRIAGES’ is the 1/2 favourite to open Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour
  • ‘AMERIICAN REQUIEM’ (2/1) and ‘BLACKBIIRD’ (3/1) are also in the mix
  • Tour begins April 28 in Inglewood, Los Angeles

Why '16 CARRIAGES' is Leading the Market

With just over a month to go until Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour kicks off in Inglewood, betting odds are given on what song will open her setlist and one track is already galloping ahead of the field.

Based on her standout Christmas Day performance at the 2024 NFL halftime show, ‘16 CARRIAGES’ has emerged as the early 1/2 favourite to be the opening song of the tour. 

The track’s epic build and country-infused production have made it the clear front-runner for what’s expected to be another huge tour for the singer.

Its cinematic arrangement, sweeping lyrics, and symbolism make it a natural show-starter for Beyoncé’s much-anticipated return to stadium stages.

What the expert says...
Beyoncé’s setlist is always calculated, theatrical and message-driven. While ‘16 CARRIAGES’ is a deserving favourite, don’t rule out a curveball when the curtain rises!

Could AMERIICAN REQUIEM or TEXAS HOLD 'EM steal the spotlight?

Not far behind is ‘AMERIICAN REQUIEM’ at 2/1, another key track from the Cowboy Carter album.

‘BLACKBIIRD’, Beyoncé’s powerful reinterpretation of The Beatles’ classic, is next at 3/1 – a nod to her genre-crossing ambition and social messaging.

Meanwhile, viral hit ‘TEXAS HOLD 'EM’ and ballad ‘PROTECTOR’ offer interesting long-shot value at 4/1 and 6/1 respectively, especially if Queen Bey opts to surprise.
