BEYONCE is to return to Ireland this year when she brings her world tour to Dublin.

The Queen of Pop announced she is set to play Croke Park on July 9 seconds after her Super Bowl performance on Sunday night.

Tickets for the Dublin show go on sale on February 15 priced at €49.50 and are limited to eight per person.

The American star will launch her 40-date Formation World Tour in North America in April, with five five UK dates and one Irish gig.

The tour is expected to support Beyonce's upcoming sixth studio album, the follow-up to her 2013 self-titled surprise release.

Beyonce appeared at the Sports Bowl with a team of dancers to perform Formation for the first time and narrowly avoided falling during her lively dance routine.

The singer, known for hits such as Crazy In Love and Halo, visibly lost her balance but composed herself in time to continue with the performance without missing a beat.

An advert for the tour appeared on American TV straight after her performance with Coldplay and Bruno Mars finished.

The 34-year-old also surprised fans by releasing new single Formation on Saturday on Tidal, the streaming service she co-owns with husband Jay Z, among others.

Normally, a subscription to the service is required but the track was made available to download for free.
