You might recall the rumor mill kicking off last Monday when Queen Bey’s Facebook and Ticketmaster pages revealed a previously unannounced stadium gig: Monday, July 30, at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field. Once press got ahold of the news, it was quickly deleted. Then, on Wednesday, Billboard reported that two anonymous sources confirmed that the tour was definitely real, but Bey couldn’t announce until after Coachella—but that was it. More gossip? Not a lot to go off of until today.

This morning Beyoncé shared what we can assume are the first of a series of tour images and video teasers on her official Instagram page. One image, seen below, is a black-and-white photograph of her and her husband riding a motorcycle beneath text that reads “OTR II.”

It’s pretty self-explanatory and would certainly make for a great concert poster, but it’s got nothing on the video teaser, which makes me, like, happy for their love? Check that out:

The visuals also make an appearance on her official website, and it looks like Ticketmaster has started rolling out dates, with presale starting on Wednesday. They’re hitting Europe and North America, so hopefully somewhere around your neck of the woods.

Check those out below, and prepare yourself to drop a few hundos. Sorry—it’s worth it!
