For nearly a year, Beyoncé fans have been deprived of visuals for his seventh album, Renaissance.

It's an unusual move for a star whose visual aesthetic has always been closely tied to his music.

From the star-making video for Crazy In Love, to the multi-layered exploration of infidelity and black femininity in the visual album, Lemonade, she has always used fashion and the iconography to enhance his songs.

All eyes are on his new world tour. How will she describe Renaissance's adventurous exploration of marginalized black and queer club music on stage?

The stakes are up to anticipation. This is Beyoncé's first solo tour in seven years and her first concerts since her historic and politically charged title at the 2018 Coachella festival.

as the lights go down and giant stadium-wide video screens are filled with sky-blue images, there is an equal sense of excitement and expectation from an audience that includes Dua Lipa , Frank Ocean, Kris Jenner and Beyoncé's husband, Jay-Z.

What it unveils is an intergalactic explosion of breathtaking opulence...a journey inside a disco ball that includes 34 songs. .
