Beyoncé's Renaissance tour arrives in New Orleans

Why it matters: Beyoncé may be a Houston native, but she's had a longtime infatuation with New Orleans, weaving it through her artistic voice for years.

New Orleans looms large in Beyoncé's work.

• The city and its outskirts served as visual inspiration and filming locations for the production of the "Lemonade" video album.
• She's also sampled tracks from New Orleans artists like Big Freedia, Messy Mya, Rebirth Brass Band and Juvenile.

The intrigue: The New Orleans tour date was supposed to be the Renaissance tour's finale, but a rescheduled date now means Kansas City takes that title.

• Still, does that mean Beyoncé's New Orleans show should take on extra meaning? Is there a special guest appearance in our future? Only Beyoncé knows.

Details: Only resale tickets are still available for Beyoncé's Superdome show, though in some other markets, "listening-only" tickets went on sale in the final hours before showtime.

• The Superdome's clear bag policy is in effect for the show, and they must be smaller than 12" x 6" x 12". A gallon-size Ziploc is also acceptable, or a clutch smaller than 4.5" x 6.5".
• Don't bring cash. All Superdome payments must be handled digitally, including concessions, merchandise and parking.

• Sugar Bowl Drive will be closed on show night.
• There's no opening act, so arrive on time. Superdome doors open at 6:30pm, and the show starts at 8pm.

Where to pregame: Several new restaurants have opened around the Caesars Superdome in recent months.

• Other nearby favorites include the recently renovated Copper Vine, Compére Lapin, Bar Marilou and Josephine Estelle at the Ace Hotel New Orleans, where Beyoncé has been spotted.
