So far in the tour, Beyonce's set has seen her perform classic hits such as Love On Top, If I Were A Boy and Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It), along with tracks from her latest album, which saw her move into country music, including Texas Hold 'Em, 16 Carriages and II Most Wanted.
The Houston-born star has also been performing covers of The Beatles' Blackbird and Dolly Parton's Jolene.
Doors are expected to open at 5pm for the show, and the singer has not had a support act on the tour so far.
Following the UK gigs, the singer will move on to Paris, where she will play three nights at the Stade De France, before returning to the US to conclude the tour.
Beyonce announced the London dates after finally winning the album of the year Grammy this year for Cowboy Carter, released in March 2024, she also won the best country album Grammy as well as the country duo/group performance award for her song featuring Miley Cyrus, titled II Most Wanted.
The singer had previously failed to secure the best album prize with 2008's I Am … Sasha Fierce, 2013's Beyonce, 2016's Lemonade and 2022's Renaissance, and dedicated her win to Linda Martell, who features on the album, who was the first black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville.
The 67th Grammy Awards, held in February, saw the singer extend her lead as the most decorated artist in the event's history with 35 awards.
In March, the King hailed Beyonce as 'exceptional' during his online radio show, The King's Music Room, and congratulated her on her first album of the year Grammy.
Beginning her career alongside Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams in Destiny's Child during the 1990s, Beyonce has gone on to have six UK number one singles and five UK number one albums.
She married rapper Jay-Z, real name Shawn Carter, in 2008, and the couple have three children – Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir.

Delta Goodrem hits back after US actor Marlon Wayans 'completely humiliated' her at Beyoncé concert
Delta Goodrem has revisited her infamous 'concert scandal' where she was brutally shamed for her dancing abilities. In 2014, American actor Marlon Wayans, 52, was standing next to the Born to Try singer, 40, at a Beyoncé concert in Los Angeles and shared a photo of her dancing to social media. 'Man I got the most UNRHYTHMIC WHITE WOMAN dancing next to me at the jay and bay concert... this b***h dancing to AC/ DC ',' he wrote at the time. Delta has now broken her silence about the shock incident and revealed while she initially found it humiliating, she came to see the experience as 'liberating' for a very surprising reason. 'I'd always been a bit shy to dance. That freedom the moment gave me... Someone keeps pressing a certain point, saying, "You can't dance",' Delta told Daily Mail's The Life of Bryony podcast. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Delta added a result of the Scary Movie actor publicly humiliating her was that she no longer feared people's criticism. 'Now I could dance in the street, I could dance right here. I could show you all my dance moves. I have no fear when it comes to dancing,' she said. 'All because I'd been completely humiliated. Thank you, now I can do an entire dance routine in my shows, I am ready to go!' In August 2014, Marlon and Delta were brought together as they both attended Jay Z and Beyoncé's On The Run tour in Los Angeles. Marlon was seen with a startled expression on his face as he watched the Innocent Eyes singer groove along to the music. Delta was seen smiling and throwing her hands in the air, seemingly oblivious to the comic's picture taking. She was at the gig in Pasadena's Rose Bowl Stadium with her close friend Renee Bargh, while the White Girls actor enjoyed a family night out - taking his son Amai to his very first concert. Delta also shared a snap at the event, uploading an image of Jay Z and Beyoncé performing on stage as she gushed about the show. After Marlon posted the picture, the songstress' fans rushed to her defence, with one fan writing 'that b***h you're standing next to is one of Australia's famous singers'. Another added 'that girl can dance! Should have gone to specsavers Marlon Wayans. Do you realise this is Australia's most successful musician?' However, some laughed along - with one Instagrammer joking 'I've seen her dancing on The Voice. It's horrendous.' Delta is one of Australia's most decorated female singer-songwriters. The former partner of Westlife singer Brian McFadden signed her first recording contract at only 15 years old and her 2003 debut album 'Innocent Eyes' topped the Australian charts for 29 weeks. Her most recent album, Bridge Over Troubled Dreams, was released in 2021 and reached number one in Australia.
