The festival, featuring Bey, Jay Z, Ed Sheeran, Chris Martin, Pharrell and more of the biggest names in the business, was put on to honor the legacy of Nelson Mandela and is campaigning to end extreme poverty.
Queen Bey closed the show with a two-hour set and during her anthem "Formation," she came on stage in a skin-tight yellow jumpsuit, surrounded by her backup dances dressed in every color of the rainbow.

While homophobic violence and high rates of HIV/AIDS infection persist, South Africa is the only country in Africa that has legalized same-sex marriage. Couples also enjoy legal protections from employment discrimination and can adopt children and arrange surrogacy treatments.
