Beyonce fans hailed the singer as “a true class act” after she dazzled them with a “once-in-a-lifetime experience” in Edinburgh. The global superstar delighted a crowd of more than 50,000 at Murrayfield Stadium on Saturday night, with fans dancing and singing along throughout the show despite pouring rain.
During the second UK show of her Renaissance world tour, she performed hit tracks from her dance music-focused seventh studio album including Alien Superstar and Cuff It. The singer also dove into her back catalogue as she delivered powerful renditions of classic songs like Crazy In Love, Run The World (Girls), Partition and Love On Top.
She paired her tightly co-ordinated routines with all the theatrics you would expect from the pop star including steam machines, laser lights, pyrotechnics and video projections. Metallic silver is the tone of the tour, with many of her outfits glistening under the spotlights, including what appeared to be a diamond-encrusted bodysuit with co-ordinating thigh-high boots.
At one stage, the star performed on top of a truck while donning a silver sparkly fitted top with a metallic-plated chest piece alongside matching trousers and boots. She also paid homage to her nickname 'Queen Bey' with a black and yellow striped bodysuit paired with black latex boots as dancers wearing antennas moved around her.
Fans took to social media to praise the star. @caitlindavidson wrote: "The best night @Beyonce @BTMurrayfield" And @BillsAhmed_ chimed: "Beyoncé was INCREDIBLE yesterday in Edinburgh"
@leabutler added: "What a show in Edinburgh last night! Incredible seeing #Beyonce at Murrayfield - nevermind the rain and fog!"
The pop superstar will continue her tour in Sunderland on Tuesday at the Stadium Of Light before heading to Paris’ Stade De France and five nights at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. She then proceeds to North America with shows in July, August and September.
The Renaissance world tour is Beyonce’s first in seven years and she kicked it off in Stockholm, Sweden, with an explosive show in which she welcomed fans “to the Renaissance”. US business magazine Forbes previously estimated the tour could earn Beyonce more than £1.6 billion.
