Get in formation, BeyHive. Queen Bey has finally kicked off her Renaissance World Tour, and she posted a video to Instagram, giving followers a first glimpse at the musical spectacular.

“Welcome to the RENAISSANCE,” the 41-year-old wrote in her caption. In the clip, we get a look at everything from Beyoncé's fabulous outfits to her elaborate choreography...and all we can say is that ticketholders are probably feeling even more impatient for their tour stop to arrive (and those without tickets are probably praying for a concert film).

The clip gives followers a generous look at the concert, highlighting everything from the outfits (metallic boots, glossy breastplates, psychedelic bodysuits) to the production (fireworks, ginormous horse statues, circus rings).

However, the upload did *not* include any audio, which led to some puzzled fans, as well as some hilarious comments. One follower wrote, “POV: Fighting with my volume button for 20 mins [laughing emoji].” Another commented, “She said you been asking for visuals, not sounds.”

The footage was taken from the Destiny's Child alum's first show, which took place in Stockholm, Sweden. The singer will be doing a string of shows in Europe before heading to the U.S. in July.

Based on the first night, it seems that the Renaissance World Tour will include songs from all throughout Beyoncé’s career. The opening show's setlist featured all of the tracks from Renaissance, including “Break My Soul,” as well as some of Bey's biggest hits, from “Love on Top” to “Run the World (Girls).”
