QUEEN B IS ON HER WAY TO THE EMIRATES OLD TRAFFORD CRICKET GROUND AND VIVA ARE VERY EXCITED.

The undisputed Queen of pop is back in Manchester once again as part of her Formation World Stadium Tour. Beyoncé will play at the Emirates Old Trafford on Tuesday 5th July, returning to the city after a two year absence.

The bootyliscious megastar announced her forty-date stadium tour following an unbeatable half-time performance at Super Bowl 50. Taking full advantage of the 115 million viewers watching she announced the world tour in a commercial, broadcast straight after her show-stealing performance with Coldplay and Bruno Mars.

The show also saw the first ever performance of the track Formation, on one of the biggest stages in the world and, in true Queen Bey fashion, she stole the show. Rocking the arena in a black leather, Michael Jackson-inspired outfit while her troop of dancers punched their fists in the air, the singer shook the world in an attempt to make a serious political statement.

This new tour sold out within minutes, with fans desperate to get their hands on the lusted-after tickets. VIP passes were also available to purchase, giving some fans the opportunity to see the show as well as a whole host of added bonuses.

Hosted in Emirates Old Trafford’s state-of-the-art facilities, select tickets include delicious food from the renowned in-house executive chef, Nic Ashurst and his team, complimentary pre-show drinks and access to The Point – the exclusive after-show party venue and a luxury seating area offering excellent views of the stage.

Having not been in Manchester since 2014, members of the Beyhive are ultra-keen to have the American superstar back. As a record-breaking solo artist and ex-member of Destiny’s Child, Beyonce has truly taken over the world. Not only is she a music sensation but has appeared in numerous films (including Oscar award winning Dream Girls), become an ambassador for multiple charities and, most recently, a fashion icon launching her Ivy Park activewear range with Topshop.

As with the World Tour, Beyonce unleashed visual album, Lemonade, in the same guerilla style. Surprising fans with the emotionally raw, fourteen-track album in April, just days before her tour commenced. With the new release hype still fresh in everyone’s mind, fans attending the first show were even more excited and, from all accounts, Queen B did not disappoint.

Coming to the UK at the end of June, fans should certainly expect a jaw-dropping show. As well as the electric atmosphere created by screaming fans, perfectly-synchronised backing dancers surround the Queen herself, who will ignite the arena in custom-made costumes designed to show off her incredible hourglass figure.

For Diamond and Platinum ticket holders, as well as an elevated balcony spot to watch the show, the VIP pass also offers a four-course meal, souvenir Beyoncé tour lanyard, exclusive gift, champagne and canapé reception plus VIP Red Carpet access to The Point.
