Beyonce's 'Formation World Tour' Kicks Off in Miami
By: Richard Best Apr. 28, 2016
Billboard.com reports that Beyonce officially kicked off the 'Formation World Tour' in Miami.
Beyonce brought her show back to basics by focusing on singing, dancing, and amazing outfits. Very few special effects were on display, and the intense sentiment that defined the new album could certainly be felt throughout the evening.
After an opening DJ set with appearances from from DJ Khaled, Lil Wayne, Future, and Rick Ross, Queen Bey finally stepped onto the stage. She opened the night followed by a troupe of dancers clad in black sequined leotards and wide-brimmed hats.
She also took time to pay tribute to Prince, playing "Purple Rain" on the sound system as the audience lit up their phones in his honor. The final numbers were performed in a shallow pool of water as Beyonce and her dancers giddily splashed each other.
Although Jay Z did not make an on-stage appearance, Beyonce made sure to honor him at the end of the show. Bey closed the show with "Halo", saying, "I want to dedicate this song to my family, thank you guys for supporting me. I want to dedicate this song to my beautiful husband, I love you so much."
Giving the audience a proper send-off, Queen B made sure to thank Miami "for a beautiful night", honor her Divas, and acknowledge "everyone from the top to the bottom."
The Formation tour will span across the U.S. and Europe, with its finale show playing Aug. 3, 2016 in Barcelona, Spain.
