Beyonce Announces “The Formation World Tour” Dates: See The Full List!
Clever businesswoman Beyoncé had her management team send press releases to all major news outlets about her upcoming tour, “The Formation World Tour”, following her co-headlining performance at the Super Bowl 50 with Coldplay and Bruno Mars last night (Feb. 7). Simultaneously, Beyoncé ordered the two biggest ticket-selling websites in the world, Live Nation and Ticketmaster, to make the announcement on their end.

“The Formation World Tour”, named after her new single, is Beyoncé’s first tour since the six-week “On The Road Tour” with Jay-Z in the summer of 2014, and her first solo tour since 2013’s “The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour”.
As of this post, Beyoncé’s new tour will kick off for its North American leg on April 27th in Miami, Florida and will wrap up on June 12th in Hershey, Pennsylvania, while for its European leg, it will begin in Sunderland, United Kingdom on June 28th, and will finalize on July 31st in Brussels, Belgium.
Evidently, I say “as of this post” because there are strong possibilities that there will be more legs for the continents mentioned earlier, and also because there will most likely be more continents added in the coming weeks.

BY THE WAY, it’s obvious that Beyoncé will drop her new album before the beginning of the tour in April, right? I just can’t imagine Beyoncé going on a full solo tour with no new songs to perform, other than “Formation” that is.
