Watch Beyoncé perform her first concert in four years

Beyoncé performed her first headline show in over four years last night (January 21) at the launch of a luxury hotel in Dubai – check out footage below.

Earlier in the week, influencers and journalists had been invited by Beyoncé to join her in Dubai for the opening of the Atlantis The Royal hotel. A “performance of a lifetime” was promised though there was no official confirmation that Beyoncé would be involved.

However last night she took the stage for her first headline show since December 2018. Beyoncé opened the private gig with ‘At Last’, ‘XO’ and ‘Flaws And All’ before playing tracks from across her back catalogue

Several tracks from Beyoncé’s Lion King: The Gift soundtrack were given their live debut, including ‘Otherside’, ‘Spirit’ and ‘Bigger’ while ‘Brown Skin Girl’ saw Blue Ivy Carter join her mum onstage.

The finale of the show saw Beyoncé sing ‘Drunk In Love’ as a raised platform emerged from a water fountain and fireworks went off around her.

Cameras and mobile phones were reportedly banned from the gig, but it seems a few people flouted that rule. Check out fan-shot footage and the complete setlist below:
