Where BeyHivers can see Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ concert movie in Knoxville
Beyoncé has wrapped up the recordbreaking and critically acclaimed “Renaissance” world tour, but the shimmering silver dance party is not over. Fans who did not attend the Nashville show will get another chance to experience the cultural phenomenon right here in Knoxville – in movie theaters.
“Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé” based on the tour hits theaters Dec. 1 in a partnership between AMC Entertainment and Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé’s media company.
“When I am performing, I am nothing but free. The goal for this tour was to create a place where everyone is free, and no one is judged. You’re unique,” Beyoncé says in the movie’s trailer. “Start over, start fresh, create the new – that’s what the Renaissance is about.”
The movie includes concert footage from the tour’s 56 shows, portions of visuals from the “Renaissance” visual album, a behind-the-scenes look at the tour’s inception and its run, and candid moments with the singer’s husband Jay Z and their three children.
