DJ Khaled attends the 2018 Fox Network Upfront at Wollman Rink, Central Park on May 14, 2018 in New York City.
This will be DJ Khaled's second time opening for Beyonce.

DJ Khaled's preparing for a hot summer. He's already announced his eleventh studio album, Father Of Asahd and hopefully, we'll be getting that just in time for the summer. He's already unleashed the monstrous single, "Top Off" with Jay-Z, Beyonce and Future a few months back. That single trumps "Shining" that he released on his last project, Grateful. DJ Khaled has clearly been working closely with Hov and Beyonce and it looks like all three of them will be hitting the road together this summer.

DJ Khaled hit Twitter to announce that he'll be joining Jay-Z and Beyonce on their upcoming "On The Run 2" tour. Khaled will serve as the opening act on the tour for the North American leg of the tour. He's previously toured with Beyonce on the "World Formation" tour on the North American dates. Maybe Hov and Bey will bring Khaled out to do ad-libs on "Shining" and "Top Off."

Aside from DJ Khaled opening up, there's been reports that Destiny's Child could join Beyoncé for the tour. Beyonce brought out her former group mates during her iconic performance at Coachella a few weeks back and blew everyone's mind. Shortly after Destiny's Child Coachella reunion, the trio reunited at a fashion show in Hollywood. No word on if there's been talks of a reunion album but maybe DJ Khaled will try and finesse a reunion for his album. We'll keep you updated.
