The most recent stop in the global Renaissance Tour was unfortunately hit by disaster when horrible weather conditions forced attendees to seek shelter at the venue.
The stormy weather was very problematic at the FedEx Field in Summerland, Maryland, not too far from Washington DC on Sunday the 6th of July. Initially, Beyoncé’s show was delayed because of the rain, which set off the fixed schedules for last trains out of the venue, but she made a generous donation to ensure her fans would be safe and sound.
Attendees had no choice but to seek shelter at the venue when the weather conditions got more intense, however, Metrorail made an announcement on social media that thanks to Beyoncé funding $100,000, last trains out were extended by an hour.
The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority said on their statement: “Due to inclement weather that may delay the start of tonight’s Renaissance World Tour at FedExField, Metro will extend the last train by an extra hour beyond the extended closing previously announced. The extended time means the #BeyHive can stay for the ‘Party’ and still get home on Metro.”
The authority also mentioned that the additional hour was funded by the Tour to cover the $100,000 cost to run more trains, keep all 98 stations open for customers to exit, and other operational expenses.
The Renaissance World Tour has received consistent critical acclaim for its production value, Beyoncé’s vocal performance and energy, and its homages to LGBTQ+ culture. This is the artist’s first solo expedition since The Formation World Tour in 2016, began on May 10 in Stockholm and ran through Europe till the end of June.
On the 8th of July, the Tour touched down in North America with a pair of shows in Toronto, Canada before making its way over to the States with Philadelphia on July 12. It will come to a close on October 1 in Kansas City.
Fans have been treated to a few surprises, mainly the inclusion of her oldest daughter with Jay Z, 11-year-old Blue Ivy Carter, who made her debut as one of the tour’s official dancers in Paris during the May 26 show.
