The American star, who performed at the Super Bowl on Sunday, will kick off the European leg of the tour in Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on June 28.

She will then make her way around Cardiff, London, Manchester, Glasgow and Dublin as part of The Formation World Tour.

The Dublin show is at Croke Park on Saturday, July 9. Tickets go on sale via Ticketmaster from next Monday.

The 34-year-old surprised fans by releasing new single Formation on Saturday on Tidal, the streaming service she co-owns with husband Jay Z, among others.

Normally, a subscription to the service is required but the track was made available to download for free.

Beyonce appeared at the Super Bowl with a team of dancers to perform Formation for the first time, and narrowly avoided falling during her lively dance routine.

She visibly lost her balance but composed herself in time to continue with the performance without missing a beat.

An advert for the tour appeared on American TV seconds after her performance with Coldplay and Bruno Mars finished.

The tour is expected to support Beyonce’s upcoming sixth studio album, the follow-up to her 2013 self-titled surprise release.

The music superstar, who is known for hits such as Crazy In Love and Halo, will take to the stage for the tour’s debut show on April 27 in Miami.
