Beyoncé Announces First Shows Since Birth Of Blue Ivy

Beyoncé has announced her first live performances since the birth of her daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

The superstar, who headlined a handful of UK festivals last summer, has confirmed plans to play three shows in Atlantic City, running from the 25th to the 27th May.

The shows will be apart of the launch of Atlantic City’s new Revel entertainment centre, with Beyoncé performing at the centre’s new performance space, Ovation Hall.

The hall itself was designed by a team of Cirque du Soleil veterans, and, according to MTV, ‘features an unobstructed view for every patron and a state-of-the-art immersive sound system.”

The shows themselves also promise to be an intimate affair, with the venue only bearing a capacity of 5,050 audience members.

Tickets for the three shows go on sale on the 6th April.

Meanwhile, alongside the return to the stage of Blue Ivy’s mother, Beyoncé’s husband Jay-Z recently unveiled plans to bring his project Watch The Throne to the UK and Europe with Kanye West, as well as appearing on the line-up for this years’ Hackney Weekend.

Jay-Z will make the following appearances.
