Beyonce has announced that she will join the ranks of Florence + The Machine and John Legend at the London charity concert "The Sound of Change Live."

The June 1 concert is being put on by Chime for Change, a Gucci-established charity that focuses on "education, health and justice for women everywhere." The star-studded show is set to take place at London's Twickenham Stadium. The concert will be broadcast worldwide for people who can't make it to the stadium.

"Our goal is to call for change for girls and women in the loudest voice possible," said Beyoncé in a news release. "I am excited for us to come together on June 1st to bring the issues of Education, Health and Justice for girls and women to the world stage."

Selma Hayek Pinault has also thrown her star power behind the global initiative.

"There are no innocent bystanders in the information age," said Hayek Pinault in the news release. "Technology connects us as never before. But that means we also have the opportunity, and the responsibility, to do something about it. We can be defined not just by what we know, but by what we do, and that is the vision behind Chime for Change."

The concert will feature performances from a wide range of acts including Beyonce, John Legend, Florence + the Machine, Iggy Azalea, Rita Ora, Timbaland, Ellie Goulding and HAIM.

Beyonce has kept very busy recently after the birth of her daughter Blue Ivy. She's set to kick off the Mrs. Carter World Tour soon and caught some flak for her new syrupy, Houston-repping double single "Bow Down/ I Been On."

Tickets go on sale March 27 at 5 a.m. EST through Chime for Change's website and Ticketmaster. Ticket buyers will be given the option to donate their ticket price to a non-profit of their choice.
