That's how you announce a tour.

In an ad airing immediately after her show-stopping Super Bowl Halftime appearance, Beyoncé announced that she'll embark on The Formation World Tour this year. The 40-date tour will kick off in Miami on April 27, traveling through North America until mid June, when it heads to Europe.

On Saturday, Beyoncé surprise-released "Formation," perhaps her most fierce and definitely her most political single so far. With a tour just around the corner, you can bet the world will be waiting with bated breath for her followup to 2013's Beyoncé.

The Formation World Tour will be her first solo tour since 2013's Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. She last hit the road with husband Jay Z in summer of 2014 for their  six-week On the Run Tour, playing major stadiums in the US.

Pre-sale starts Tuesday, and tickets go on sale Feb. 16. Check out the video for "Formation" below, and clear your schedule for Tuesday.
