The "Cowboy Carter Tour" has arrived at MetLife Stadium, kicking off a series of concerts in the Meadowlands.

Beyoncé, aka Queen Bey, kicked off her first of five performances on Thursday at 7 p.m. She's scheduled to return on Saturday and Sunday, then again next Wednesday and Thursday.

Fans from all over are making their way to the Garden State for the biggest part of Beyoncé's tour along the East Coast.

Ahead of the concert, Beyoncé's fans, aka the Bey Hive, were buzzing at the Hive Lounge silent disco party pregame at American Dream Mall at the Dream Bar.

The Hive Lounge was created by Cassandra Agesilas, who told News 12 that she wanted to provide a space for Beyoncé fans to gather, connect and dance.

"There's not a lot of events right now that focus on dancing. We want to bring that back and by bringing two DJs playing simultaneously, playing two eras of Beyoncé, I think it's very unique," says organizer and DJ Brandon Metz.

Organizers say the Hive Lounge is open for fans ahead of Cowboy Carter shows, whether fans have tickets or not. It's located in section A of the American Dream Mall on the second floor.
