Key Facts
Beyoncé began her set with the song “Dangerously In Love” from her most recent album Renaissance, Variety reported.
Along with songs from her most recent album, Beyoncé reportedly played crowd favorites from previous albums including “Diva,” “Partition,” “Crazy In Love” and “Love On Top.”
At one point during her performance, Beyoncé took to the stage to perform the chart-topping hit “Savage Remix,” a song she usually sang alongside rapper Megan Thee Stallion, according to Variety.
What To Watch For
The singer will make her way across Europe before arriving in North America in June for the second leg of her tour, with at least 40 shows, her last one in New Orleans, Louisiana, on September 27.

Key Background
When Beyoncé tickets went on sale in February for her now sold-out tour, Billboard estimated her months-long tour would generate between $275 million and $428 million in ticket revenue alone. That was before the singer increased her tour from 41 stops to 57. This is Beyoncé’s first solo tour since her 2016 shows for the album Lemonade. She most recently performed at a private event at the Atlantis Royal Resort in Dubai in January, marking her first full concert in four years. Before that in 2018, she joined her husband, Jay-Z, for the On the Run II tour for their joint album Everything Is Love.
