On January 21, 2023, American singer Beyoncé was asked to perform for an invitation-only crowd at Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah to commemorate the unveiling of a new luxury resort hotel, Atlantis The Royal. This was her first live performance since 2018. Beyoncé was reportedly paid over $24 million for the show, making it the highest-paying private concert in history, according to Forbes.
The ballad-heavy show was part of a three-day launch event for the hotel, in which journalists, celebrities, and influencers were invited.
Despite having a no-phone policy to prevent unlawful recordings, attempts to enforce these (and other) security measures largely went unnoticed, as many attendees filmed the concert successfully and uploaded the videos online. Parkwood Entertainment, Beyoncé's production company, subsequently released limited official photos and footage of the concert online.
