Businesswoman, fashion designer, art collector, and activist Tina Knowles has announced a nine-city live tour in support of her upcoming memoir, MATRIARCH, set for publication on April 22, 2025, by One World, an imprint of the Random House Publishing Group. The tour, produced by Live Nation, will commence on April 30 in Washington, DC, at The Theater at MGM National Harbor, featuring Michelle Obama as the evening’s moderator.

Following the kickoff event, Knowles will make stops in Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans, Toronto, Chicago, and Brooklyn, before concluding the tour in London, UK, on June 4 at Southbank Centre (Royal Festival Hall).

Throughout the tour, Knowles will engage in discussions with notable figures from various industries, sharing personal stories and insights into her experiences. The full list of moderators will be announced at a later date. Each event will offer a unique opportunity for audiences to witness heartfelt conversations reflecting on themes of family, identity, and resilience.

“I’m so excited to take Matriarch on the road and extend the conversation beyond the pages,” Knowles stated. “Storytelling has always been a part of who I am—something I learned from my mother—and now, at 71, I finally understand who I truly am. This journey has been about strength, motherhood, family pride, and identity, and I hope these conversations help others embrace their own stories and celebrate the power of knowing what we deserve.”

Tickets for Matriarch: An Evening with Tina Knowles, Family and Friends will be available starting Friday, March 21, at 10 AM (local time) via TinaKnowlesBook.com.

A VIP package will be offered, including premium seating, a meet-and-greet and photo opportunity with Knowles, an autographed copy of MATRIARCH, early venue access, and more. Additional details are available at vipnation.com.

Knowles, the mother of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, Solange Knowles, and Kelly Rowland, is recognized as a guiding force behind some of the most influential artists of this generation. However, her memoir delves beyond her well-known role, exploring her journey from a young girl in 1950s Galveston, Texas, to an influential cultural figure.

MATRIARCH chronicles her experiences with family, loss, perseverance, and creativity. It provides an intimate and revealing look into the challenges and triumphs that have shaped her, offering a broader reflection on the wisdom passed down through generations of women.
