On February 6, 2016, Beyoncé released " Formation" for free on the music streaming service TIDAL and its accompanying music video on her official YouTube. The tour was announced following Beyoncé's guest appearance at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show. In total, the tour grossed $256 million from 49 sold-out shows according to Billboard Boxscore, and ranked at #2 on Pollstar's 2016 Year End Tours chart. The Formation World Tour ranked at #1 and #2 on Pollstar's 2016 mid-year Top 100 Tours chart both in North America and worldwide respectively, with a total mid-year worldwide gross of $137.3 million from the first 25 shows (including $126.3 million from the first North American leg of the tour). Supporting acts also included artists signed to Beyoncé's own management company, Parkwood Entertainment, such as the duo Chloe x Halle, who were relatively unknown at the time. The tour had a variety of notable opening acts, including a number of special guests joining prominent opener DJ Khaled on stage.
Several music critics gave the show positive reviews, with a variety of publications praising both the tour's production and Beyoncé's performance and vocal abilities. The theme of the tour was described as following the same linear chapters to that of the tour's supporting album Lemonade, with each rotation of the aforementioned 'Monolith' representing a new chapter of the show. The tour's production and staging consisted of a 60 foot tall rotating LED cuboid referred to as the 'Monolith', a treadmill runway and a secondary stage that stores and produces 2,000 gallons of water. The tour's title is in reference to Beyoncé's 2016 song " Formation". The tour started on Apat Marlins Park in Miami, Florida and concluded on Octoat MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, comprising 49 dates.
The all-stadium tour was announced following her guest appearance at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show. The Formation World Tour was the seventh concert tour by American singer Beyoncé in support of her sixth studio album, Lemonade.
