( CNN ) -- Cue the screams : One of the hardest-working couples in show business is headed on tour . On Monday , Jay Z and Beyonce announced a joint summer trek that will take them to 16 cities throughout North America , starting in June . The married couple first stirred anticipation that they 'd tour together in early April , but the buzz was initially dampened by Jay Z revealing that his 2014 `` Made in America '' music festival will play in both Los Angeles and Philadelphia . It seems the pair just wanted an element of surprise . Their announcement of the `` On the Run '' tour arrived complete with an image of the two wearing ski masks . Even before they quietly tied the knot in 2008 , Mr. and Mrs. Carter have dominated the music industry both as solo artists and as a couple . One of their recent collaborations , `` Drunk In Love , '' was controversial but nonetheless landed at No . 1 . And with their `` On the Run '' tour , the duo are hoping to use their combined star power for good . A dollar from each `` On the Run '' ticket sold will go toward the Shawn Carter Foundation , an organization that helps underserved groups go to college . The tour is also being presented in partnership with Beyonce 's # BeyGOOD campaign , which seeks to inspire charitable work , kindness and community involvement . Tickets go on sale for the general public May 2 , while anxious fans can visit Beyonce 's or Jay Z 's Facebook page for information on advance purchases . The tour will launch in Miami on June 25 and wind down in San Francisco on August 5 .
