Beyoncé delivers a powerhouse, out-of-this-world experience at Soldier Field concert

Beyoncé is the wave of the future. Her Renaissance World Tour proved as much as it descended on Soldier Field Saturday night for the first of two sold-out weekend shows. The two-and-a-half-hour extravaganza was pure escape into an otherworldly existence, perhaps the closest we mere mortals will get to going to the moon. 

Full of the singer’s continually evolving progressive music, tons of sci-fi realism, android-human blurred lines, and an abundance of advanced technology that sets the bar for every other stadium tour to come, the road trek is also a rebirth of the megastar herself, seven long years after her last solo tour in 2016.
