Beyonce Formation World Tour: 37-song setlist revealed, featuring 'Purple Rain' and Lemonade tracks

It's got to be a tough job being Beyoncé in preparation for her Formation World Tour, having to choose between which of her 8 billion hits to play for global audiences. The easiest answer: all of them!

The musician launched the tour at Miami's Marlins Park on 27 April, with the setlist revealing an epic 37-song beast of a show, incorporating swathes of material from each of Queen Bey's eras; including a mash-up of "Drunk in Love" and Kendrick Lamar's "Swimming Pools", as well as the Fifty Shades of Grey remix of "Crazy in Love" with elements of Destiny Child's "Bootylicious".

Opening just a few days after her surprise drop of new album Lemonade, the tour incorporates eight tracks from her dose of new material: "Hold Up", "Freedom", "Sorry", "Don't Hurt Yourself", "All Night", "Daddy Lessons", and "Formation".

Obviously, this setlist is entirely subject to change as the tour progresses; it'll be interesting to see whether her tribute to Prince, with "Purple Rain" featuring during the concert, was a one-off moment or will become an integrated part of the tour.

The show ended with a performance of "Halo", dedicated to her husband Jay Z; of particular interest after themes running throughout Lemonade seemed to suggest he may have been involved in an affair.
