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.

As Beyonc� 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 BEYONC�'s first solo tour since her ambitious Mrs. Carter Show World Tour in 2013.
