EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour arrived at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Saturday for the first of two shows there this weekend.
The stadium parking lot opened at 3 p.m., and temperatures hit 90 degrees as fans who arrived early tried to stay cool in the shade as they waited for gates to open.
Whatever the weather, they don’t mind.
Excited fans boarded trains at Penn Station, while others drove, arriving as the parking lot opened some five hours before showtime.
It was hot, but people were not going to sacrifice their fashion, many wearing looks inspired by the song “Alien Superstar.”
Ahead of her performances, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy proclaimed Beyonce “the Queen Bey of the Garden State.”
There is a chance of thunderstorms Saturday night, but fans say they’ll stick it out no matter what.
The concert starts at 8 p.m.
