It’s no surprise that the Superdome went dark after Beyoncé finished her Super Bowl XLVII halftime show in New Orleans in February: When she walked off that stage, she brought all the power with her. This is the woman who embodies power singing, power strutting, even power hair, and now she is bringing her mighty presence to the O2 Dublin.

If you want to see The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour on Saturday May 11th or Sunday May 12th, you’d better have a ticket tucked safely away, as both shows are completely sold out. This is the first full-time tour Beyoncé has embarked upon since her I Am World Tour in 2009, but this one promises to be even bigger and bolder than her last extravaganza - and that was pretty spectacular, drawing more than 1.1 million fans to more than 100 shows in 32 countries.

Ticket secured, accommodation should be next on your agenda: GoIreland has hotels, B&Bs, and self-catering across the city and outside Dublin, whether you want a room with enough bling to satisfy the queen of pop, or you’re looking for simpler Dublin accommodation.

Beyoncé is one of modern pop’s biggest female icons, releasing four No. 1 solo albums to date and selling more than 75 million copies across the globe. Now just 31, she has already earned 16 Grammy Awards, as well as the accolade of Billboard’s Top Female Artist and Top Radio Songs Artist of the 2000’s. She was also named Top Certified Artist of the last decade by the Recording Industry Association of America.

How does she do it? Beyoncé simply has an insatiable desire to entertain. She combines charisma, energy, and incredible musical talent to put on a show you will never forget. So if you do have a ticket for Beyonce in the O2 Dublin on May 11th or 12th, count yourself lucky - but don’t be surprised if she sucks the power out of the stadium after she leaves the stage!
