NEW YORK — After a date in Philadelphia was announced early -- and promptly pulled -- Beyonce has officially announced her second joint tour with her husband, Jay-Z.

The singer and rapper will embark on “OTR II,” the follow up to the pair’s successful “On The Run” tour in 2014. The tour visits Atlanta on Aug. 25.
