Beyonce's Formation tour general release tickets went on sale today, after three previous pre-sale opportunities.

And tickets flew out, with Wembley Stadium taking to Twitter to reveal that after just 26 minutes it had sold out of all the tickets, and had only hospitality ones remaining.

With such high demand the stadium, which has a total of 90,000 seats, has announced that Beyonce will now play a second date in July.

The songstress was already scheduled to perform at Wembley on July 2, but will now also take to the stage on July 3, before moving on to Manchester and finally finishing off the UK leg of her tour in Glasgow.

Tickets go on sale for Wembley's second date on Tuesday February 23 at 9am on Ticketmaster and LiveNation.
