Beyoncé brought back “16 Carriages” night 1 of her tour in Atlanta, but she swapped the flying car stunt for a dramatic entrance on a soaring horse.
From fireworks to crowd control, Beyoncé concerts involve months of planning with public safety teams. Jerome Martin, a now-retired chief with Atlanta Fire Rescue, helped oversee safety planning at major stadium events for more than a decade. For concerts like Beyoncé’s, his work often started months in advance.
Bey’s ongoing trek is absolutely flying by, with Atlanta marking the second-to-last stop on the route. Three months after kicking off the tour in Los Angeles on April 28, the Destiny’s Child alum will close out the run with two shows at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on July 25 and 26.
This year’s Club World Cup has left town and will give way to next year’s big event — the World Cup. Atlanta hosted six matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and they included club teams from Mexico, Portugal, France, the U.S., United Arab Emirates and Germany.
If this sounds like the must-see, can’t-miss show of the summer, last-minute tickets are still available for all four Hotlanta ‘Cowboy Carter’ concerts. At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on seats for any one night was $91 including fees on Vivid Seats.
