It was her first UK festival of the year, and Beyoncé made sure she hit the headlines for more than one reason.
The global icon, whose new blonde bob made its debut at V Festival, definitely entertained the crowds but unfortunately not Channel 4 viewers.
The 31-year-old singer sparked controversy by reportedly refusing to allow the broadcast company the rights to film her performance.

Presenters of this year's two-day event, Edith Bowman and Steve Jones referred to the news on air that Beyonce had declined them clearance to show her headline set.
But it wasn't the only news people were talking about as she stormed the headline stage with a blonde blob after a surprise pixie cut, which the superstar informed the world about on her Instagram page.
It made headlines and according to reports, even surprised her hairstylist.
'Changing hair is like changing lipstick or eye shadow for her,' a Beyonce pal told the Daily Beast. 'I think she gets a kick out of how much the press talks about it.’'

Despite a dramatic hair makeover, Beyoncé's on stage style certainly hasn't changed.
The Queen of Pop stole the show as she headlined V Festival on Saturday, dazzling the crowd in a number of racy ensembles.
She wore her new bob sleek and straight as she bounded around the stage in a white leotard, before changing into a black one, while the excited crowd screamed her name.

The revealing outfit had large, jutting shoulder pads which created a strong silhouette and large pieces of material attached to the waistband.
Clearly pleased with her new haircut, Beyoncé wore it loose and perfectly styled, keeping her make-up light and bright to match her white outfit.
And the star certainly didn't disappoint when it came to her performance at Hylands Park in Essex as thousands of festival-goers turned out just to get a glimpse of her.

After posting an Instagram picture of her new blonde pixie crop last week, the singer had changed it again just a week later, showing off a longer style as she stepped out in Miami on Thursday.
And while Beyoncé was on stage in the UK, her husband Jay Z was still in Miami, spotted partying with Justin Bieber at a nightclub.
She and Jay will be also hitting the stage for his Made In America festival in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania over the Labor Day holiday along with Phoenix, Nine Inch Nails and Solange Knowles.
The concert will wrap up a hectic summer for the Grammy Award-winning pair, that has seen Jay Z touring from coast to coast with JT, and Beyoncé on her Mrs. Carter Show global extravaganza.
