Rihanna Announces ‘The Anti World Tour’
Rihanna just unveiled the routing for “The Anti World Tour” – her first headline outing since 2013. The 2016 trek, which spans North America and Europe, features The Weeknd, Big Sean and Travis Scott on select dates.
Today’s announcement arrives while we continue to patiently wait for Rihanna’s new album. After releasing seven studio albums in seven years – from 2005’s Music of the Sun to 2012’s Unapologetic – the superstar’s next LP is Anti.
According to Hits Daily Double and its sources, Anti will debut exclusively through Tidal Nov. 27. The album is reportedly set for release to the rest of the world Dec. 4. Guess we’ll find out soon enough!
The Anti World Tour kicks off Feb. 26 in San Diego. Dates are booked through Aug. 12 in Zurich, Switzerland.
