Beyoncé first took to the stage in 2018 at the opening of a private hotel in Dubai and once duetted with daughter Blue Ivy. The 41-year-old American star played 90 minutes at the opening concert at Atlantis The Royal, considered the most luxurious resort in the world.
Beyoncé opened the door by appearing in front of 1,500 people in a sequined yellow dress and sculpted fur cape on the cover of Etta James’s At Last. He also sang some of his biggest hits including Crazy In Love, Naughty Girl, Halo and XO, culminating in his performance of Drink In Love as fireworks lit up the sky. Blue Ivy, 11, wowed the crowd by performing a duet with her superstar mother and black girl from 2019’s The Lion King: The Gift.
The crowds were reportedly ordered to keep their phones in their pockets and were reprimanded by guards if they were seen taking pictures. The headlining set contained many songs that were rarely performed live, and the singer did not select the debut song from his twice Grammy-nominated album Renaissance.
To the excited crowd, Beyoncé said, “A utopia of people from all over the world has gathered on this stage and I am honored to celebrate with you tonight. My parents got together tonight to celebrate. Mother and father. My wonderful children. I’m here to see what my beautiful husband and I look like.” The Destiny’s Child star changed into a red and gold bejeweled bodysuit with a voluminous train, while the trio’s outfits changed to red corseted minidresses and matching stockings and gloves.
She was reportedly paid $24 million (£19.4 million) for an exclusive concert that included celebrities such as Kendall Jenner, Liam Payne, Ronan Keating, Rochelle and Marvin Humes, as well as British Vogue editor Edward Enninful. “We gave him creative control. This is his art. We want him to express his art in his own way,” said Managing Director Tim Kelly. “The professionalism and discipline of teaching cannot be overstated.

Kelly said it took “a long time” for the global pop star to find her image, but “it all came together pretty quickly.” “This is the week when he chooses what he wants to do. We are proud and proud of it. It is a unique opportunity for them to be here in Dubai tonight.”
