A crucial Welsh Premiership semi-final has not been televised after Beyoncé's production vehicles stopped S4C from getting their broadcast trucks into Cardiff Arms Park.
The Indigo Premiership semi-final between Cardiff and Newport was set to be broadcast on S4C on Sunday evening.
However, it's understood that when the Welsh language channel got in touch this week to sort arrangements, they were told there was no chance of getting an outside broadcast truck at the Arms Park ahead of Beyonce's concert at the Principality Stadium later this week.

Prior to the former Destiny Child singer's gig this Wednesday, the car park and loading area behind the hospitality boxes at the Arms Park were reserved for production vehicles.
A post on S4C's social media channels confirmed that the game at the Arms Park would not be broadcast "due to logistical issues in the Cardiff area".
Instead, updates from the match will be shown on the main programme and on S4C social media platforms, with the other semi-final between Llandovery and Merthyr being broadcast on television instead.
"S4C was informed that the TV compound at Cardiff RFC could not be made available for the OB unit as it had already been reserved for the Beyonce concert at the Principality Stadium," said a statement from the channel. "The decision was then made to switch to Llandovery for live coverage of their semi-final against Merthyr."
Both matches are being played at 5.15pm, with the initial plan having seemingly been to broadcast one on TV and the other online. However, the presence of Beyonce's production vehicles scuppered that idea.
Regardless of whether the match between Cardiff and Newport had been broadcast, the awkward kick-off times for both semi-finals haven't proved popular with the teams involved.
Newport head coach Tyron Morris had criticised the kick-off time on social media, before telling the BBC: "The WRU had a real opportunity to publicise these semi-finals as a big event.
"Perhaps they could have done them back-to-back at a neutral venue along the same lines as Judgement Day.
"But to kick off after 5pm on a Sunday is terrible, especially for the supporters. You rarely get families or children coming at that time because it's a late finish and there's school and work the next day.
"I'm big on getting numbers into the grounds. That's how I fell in love with rugby and how we will bring people to the game... not sat watching TV."
