After four years, Beyoncé returned to the stage for a private, invite-only concert in Dubai.
A grand hotel opening that doesn't just get the country talking but the world as well, are far and few in between.
Kickstarting its first day of business with a huge bang, making waves in both local and international news, the luxurious Atlantis The Royal in Dubai broke into the scene with a Beyoncé performance, which also makes this the Crazy In Love singer's first long-form act since Coachella 2018.
The private headline show lasted for a little over an hour, and was attended by celebrities, influencers, affluent figures, and other exclusively invited guests.
