The concert kicked off at 8:30 p.m. and the hit-packed set list included tracks from Beyoncé’s latest album, 2022’s Renaissance, such as Break My Soul and Cuff It, and classics including Crazy in Love, Naughty Girl and Partition, as well as a cover of Tina Turner’s River Deep, Mountain High, the onet.pl website reported.
In addition to Beyoncé’s powerful vocals, the singer's Renaissance World Tour has also wowed audiences with a spectacular and futuristic stage setting, the PAP news agency reported.
Polish fans saw the US diva ride her suspended disco-ball prop horse, for instance, in a nod to the cover artwork for Renaissance, Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper reported.
There were also sci-fi themed vehicles and robots, according to news outlets.
“Queen Bey” donned more than 20 various costumes during her performance, including a racy silver armour, an emerald suit, and a black-and-yellow striped bee outfit from Thierry Mugler, according to organisers.
Beyoncé will play Warsaw’s National Stadium for the second time on Thursday night, the PAP news agency reported.
The tour itself, which began on May 10 in Stockholm, Sweden, and will conclude on September 27 in the American city of New Orleans, could earn the pop diva more than USD 2 billion, according to Forbes magazine.
This week’s concerts at Warsaw’s National Stadium mark Beyonce’s third visit to Poland.
She played the same venue at the 2013 Orange Warsaw Festival, and again in 2018, when she performed alongside her husband, the rapper Jay-Z, the PAP news agency reported.
Renaissance is Beyoncé’s first solo headline tour in seven years as she seeks to cement her status as “the greatest pop show on Earth,” Britain’s The Guardian newspaper reported.
