This is the fifth time I've watched Beyoncé perform, but her new tour is unlike anything she's done before.
With a tank with fireworks, a shimmering horse on which she hovers in the air above the crowd, and robots that serve as her backup dancers, Queen B sweeps the 50,<> people who came to see her from the corners of the globe on a journey of almost three hours, which leaves quite a few jaws dropping in the stands.

She dedicates the beginning of the show to her Grammy-winning ballad, "Dangerously In Love 2", followed by several ballads from previous albums.
Between parts of the evening, it was impossible not to admire the elaborate passages, accompanied by spectacular effects that would not embarrass Marvel films. Beyoncé makes sure the audience holds their breath every minute of the evening, even when she's not on stage.
For the main part of the evening, "Renaissance," Beyoncé emerges from a robot suit, squinting to the tune of "I'm That Girl," and immediately moves on to one of the album's hits, "Alien Superstar," with a small nod to the past hit "Sweet Dreams."
"Motherboard" is the next and most "bitter" part of the evening, if you will, accompanied by a band of musicians and backup singers. One by one, she performs the summer hits "Cuff It" and "Break My Soul" in energetic versions and grandiose costumes as befits her. At this point, Beyoncé also pays tribute to Madonna, or as she calls her during the show, "Queen Mother Madonna," performing their remix of the latest hit in a terrific mash-up to the timeless song Vogue. Then comes her string of huge hits: "Crazy", "In Love", "Love On Top" and others.

During the show, Beyoncé takes advantage of every bit of the enormous stage, trying to reach each and every one of the fans who stormed the tickets to see her. Finally comes the encore, in which she rides her horse and hovers above the audience to the tune of "Summer Renaissance", thanking everyone for coming and spending the long evening with her in an extraordinary production never seen before.

For performances in London next week, a flight package and a ticket to the Golden Ring on Ticktick will cost £777. If you wish, you can combine the same trip with a Coldplay or Elton John concert, which takes place in the same week in the UK.
