True to her life's work of always giving back, fans will be
given the opportunity to participate in Beyoncé's #BeyGOOD
initiative supporting local United Way programs and the continued
work surrounding the water crisis in Flint, Michigan. United Way of Genesee County has been at the forefront of
distributing thousands of filtration pitchers, faucet mount
filters, replacement cartridges and truckloads of water to
underserved populations to address immediate needs in Flint Michigan. They are also partnering with
the Community Foundation of Greater
Flint to create a fund that will address long-term
developmental, education, nutrition and health needs of the
children affected by the Flint Water Crisis. Follow @beygood on
Twitter for more information.
As Beyoncé wants to present her fans with the best possible
experience at the concerts, she has joined forces with THX® Ltd to
provide the highest quality audio experience during THE
FORMATION WORLD TOUR. THX has assessed, optimized and certified
that the acoustic systems used at the concerts are without peer.
With this association, concert-goers will get the best acoustic
experience possible at any large-venue event.
THE FORMATION WORLD TOUR is BEYONCÉ's first solo tour
since her ambitious Mrs. Carter Show World Tour in 2013. The
sold-out tour spanning two years and five continents thrilled
nearly two million fans and was hailed by critics worldwide. During
the summer of 2014, BEYONCÉ and JAY Z launched the six-week ON THE
RUN Tour, playing major stadiums in the US. They ended the tour in
Paris, France in September 2014 with two additional dates that
were filmed for an HBO Special that was nominated for an Emmy
Award.
