After years of waiting (with the exception of a few major #BBHMM special broadcasts) the news is now coming in hot from Rihanna HQ. Having launched a cinematic online experience at ANTIdiaRy.com — created in collaboration with immersive theater company Punchdrunk and Samsung — Rihanna has now announced a huge world tour starting next February! The announcement is already fueling rumors that her album release is just days away, and if these rumors are true, it’ll be a Tidal exclusive launching this Friday, followed by a general release next Friday.
Rihanna posted an image of herself looking like an absolute boss — wearing a broad-shouldered, 80s-style suit jacket, white shirt with a tall collar and a black ribbon tie with her hair tied in twists — to announce that the ANTI tour will start in February 2016. Travi$ Scott will support her North American dates while the Weeknd and Big Sean will warm up European audiences. Tickets will go on pre-sale on Monday, November 30 followed by a general release on Thursday, December 3.
