What's better than Beyoncé? How about Bey, Florence Welch and Jennifer Lopez

The trifecta of talented women are teaming up for a female empowerment concert in support of Chime for Change, a campaign which promotes education, health and justice for girls. 

Jay-Z's other half will headline the June 1 show at London's Twickenham Stadium. The concert will also feature performances by Lopez, Ellie Goulding, Florence + The Machine, HAIM, Iggy Azalea, John Legend, Laura Pausini, Rita Ora and Timbaland, among others. 

The "Bow Down" singer, Salma Hayek Pinault and Gucci creative director Frida Giannini are all co-founders of the Chime for Change concert. Gucci will underwrite the cost of the event, and proceeds will go towards nonprofits promoting female empowerment.

"Our goal is to call for change for girls and women in the loudest voice possible," Queen B said in a statement. "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."

Tickets are currently on sale through the campaign website and Ticketmaster. Concertgoers will receive a Sound of Change voucher after purchasing a ticket to be used towards a female empowerment project of choice. 

Hey, as Bey said it best: Who run the world? Girls.
