Beyoncé returned to Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field to launch her 'Renaissance' world tour with a career-spanning setlist.
The show opened intimately before transitioning into an elaborate Afrofuturist spectacle with Beyoncé in a silver spacesuit.
Beyoncé paid homage to Black music history with covers of classic R&B and prominent nods to LGBTQ culture.
The tour production featured state-of-the-art lighting, video screens and choreography, although some effects had already been revealed.
Several Philadelphia creatives and companies contributed to the show, including the tour cake, costumes and pre-show activities.
