Beyoncé’s performances at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium kick off tonight – and fans have been camping out all day in preparation.
The Grammy Award-winning musician will perform six shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium starting on June 5. The dates are her first UK shows since her Renaissance World Tour in 2023.
After tonight, Beyoncé will go on to perform on June 7, 10, 12, 14, and 16, following a string of dates across America, where she will perform tracks from her eighth studio album.
While the stadium is set to open its doors to 62,000 fans shortly, some are worried about the rainy conditions.
Others are metaphorically and literally preparing to dance in the rain, with many fans literally camping out in preparation.
A TikTok posted by user Paolatravell shows countless fans in tents around the venue as early as 4am this morning.
The show is set to go ahead regardless of the weather, something one American fan claimed is actually lucky.
Fan Madeline DeFreece, who managed to not only survive the rain, but claimed it added to the show, told Metro: ‘This show was meant to be performed in the rain. The way the fabric moved on the contemporary dancers — I could not imagine it any differently.’
She continued: ‘At one point the cowboys had a Magic Mike moment, thrusting the floor of the stage and immediately I turned to my friend and said, “We are so privileged to be in such a time and place.” I mean it was hot and provocative in a way that I don’t think Beyoncé nor her team planned for.’
Madeline also added: ‘I’d pay to see it again, I’d pay even more to see it again in the rain.’
Blue Ivy has become a firm fixture of Beyoncé’s dance crew, but the sight of rarely-seen Rumi hugging her mum on stage has reduced fans to tears during the tour’s run.
During her first appearance on opening night at the Los Angeles SoFi Stadium, the tot walked on in a gold dress with Beyoncé, who wore glittering gold and green plaid chaps and bodysuit, and her sister during the song, Protector.
It’s unclear if Rumi will be taking to the stage tonight, but rest assured the event will still be a family affair with Blue Ivy putting in a shift as a dancer.
