Beyoncé will once again do her part for a better world with BeyGOOD. This is an initiative she started in 2013 to help support people all over the world. The initiative supports organisations that help marginalised communities, offer internships and provide services for entrepreneurship.

Beyoncé: a superstar

Beyoncé is one of the most popular singers of the 21st century. Her career started blooming in the late '90s when she was a part of the group Destiny's Child with Kelly Lowland and Michelle Williams. You can know this group from songs like Say My Name and Bills, Bills, Bills. Beyoncé had her breakthrough as a solo artist in 2003 with her first album Dangerously in Love, which brought fans songs like Crazy in Love and Baby Boy.

It's been quite some time since Beyoncé was in the ArenA. The last time was in 2018, when she gave two performances with her husband Jay-Z. Now, after five years of waiting, it's finally time again for a solo performance of Queen Bey. Are you going to be at one of the extraordinary concerts?
