Beyoncé fans slept outside the Principality Stadium to get the best spot for her Renaissance tour gig in Cardiff

If you look at huge artists like Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles they always have a group of dedicated fans who will happily spend thousands of pounds and many hours camping out to see them. Global superstar Beyoncé is no different and as the pop queen comes to perform in Cardiff on Wednesday, May 17, some fans have camped overnight to see her.

This includes Kirsty Smith, who is 22, and Taylor Golden, who is 24, who slept overnight on the floor under blankets on the paved area by the River Taff outside the Principality Stadium. They had arrived at 3pm on Tuesday, May 16, to ensure they got the best spot. Kirsty travelled two-and-a-half hours on the train from Devon, while Taylor travelled four-and-a-half hours on a bus from London.

Kirsty explained why they have queued for so long, she said: "Being up close, that is the whole reason we camped so we could be guaranteed front row so you get that interaction and it's just a different experience than being in the seats because you can actually make eye contact and get the energy going."
