(Note: Since this story's original publication on Feb. 7, Beyoncé has moved her Ford Field show to June 14.)

Beyoncé announced a fund to benefit Flint children as she revealed a world tour that will include a show at Detroit's Ford Field on May 29.

She unveiled the Formation World Tour on Sunday in one of the most high-profile settings possible, announcing the coming run in a commercial that aired after her exuberant Super Bowl halftime performance with Coldplay.

Tickets for the Ford Field show will go on sale Feb. 22. Prices haven't been announced. American Express card holders can buy tickets for the Detroit show starting Feb. 15.

The Formation World Tour will kick off April 27 in Miami. As part of the upcoming run, the singer is asking fans to keep tabs on her @beygood Twitter feed for details on helping young Flint residents in need.

Beyoncé and the United Way are "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," the star's team said in a statement Sunday night.

The Detroit date will be her first show in the area since a July 2013 concert at the Palace of Auburn Hills.

The Sunday tour announcement comes on the heels of Saturday's release of Beyoncé's politically fueled new video, "Formation."
