After months of ever-building anticipation, HBO is set to air Beyonce and Jay Z’s “On the Run” concert special this Saturday, Sept. 20. The special will feature performance footage of the superstar couple from their Sept. 12 and 13 shows, which occurred this weekend in Paris.
Jay and Bey have been on tour since the summer, performing across Europe and the States for the first time as a duo. And it looks as though fans can expect for quite an experience when they catch the special this weekend.
“This is a major musical event that belongs on HBO,” said program chief Michael Lombardo back in July. “It’s going to be a night to remember.”
There is already talk of Jay Z having announced Beyonce’s second pregnancy during the Paris set, so undoubtedly, viewers are excited to witness the moment firsthand for themselves. But also, it’s a chance to catch the biggest couple in music onstage doing what they do best, in the grandest setting imaginable. HBO has produced several classic concerts over the years, from Michael Jackson’s legendary shows in Bucharest, Romania, in 1993 to Bruce Springsteen’s exhilarating Madison Square Garden shows in 2001. Here’s hoping they continue a long and proud tradition.
“Beyonce and Jay Z: On the Run” airs Saturday, Sept. 20 on HBO.
