Why not celebrate today's gig announcement (and brighten up your Monday) with 11 fantastic songs from Bey's back catalogue.

Many of her solo songs may be iconic, but let's not forget some of the Destiny's Child bangers of old (we know, it's unlikely they will appear on the setlist, but it doesn't mean we can't enjoy them beforehand) and some of her feature spots.
