"Beyonce is being lined up to sing at Atlantis as part of a huge, luxury event in January. The hotel brand has recently put on a range of massive performances, with Kylie Minogue booked in to perform on New Year's Eve," the source told The Sun, adding that the concerts were part of a star-studded line-up of celebrations the hotel is putting on during the holiday season. Needless to say, invites to Beyonce's hour-long performance is the hottest (and hardest) ticket to get in town. "Afterwards, there is a party with Swedish House Mafia booked to do a DJ set."
The source also mentioned that the gig will be Beyonce's first proper live show since she performed at the Global Citizen Festival in Johannesburg in December 2018. Beyonce also raked in the cash at her 'Club Renaissance' event last week, a two-night extravaganza that invited followers to "experience Renaissance in spatial audio." Tickets for the 21+ event reportedly sold out "seemingly in minutes," according to Variety.
The event, which Amazon Music presented, was open to fans over the age of 21 and took place on December 17-18. Beyonce had released 'Renaissance,' her eighth studio album, which included the lead hit 'Break, My Soul.' The album has earned nine Grammy nominations for the forthcoming awards show.
