Rihanna Announces Anti World Tour, Travis Scott To Accompany On North American Leg

Rihanna’s Anti World Tour kicks off Feb. 26 next year at San Diego, California’s Viejas Arena. Travis Scott will accompany her during the North America leg of her tour, which is for her upcoming album “Anti.” He will serve as the singer’s opening act throughout her North American leg.

The singer dropped the news on her Instagram and Twitter Sunday. The picture shows RiRi in a menswear-inspired look in a black suit, matching tie and white shirt. This will be Rihanna’s first tour since announcing her Diamonds World Tour back in 2012.

The North American leg of Rihanna’s world tour will last for three months till it closes out at Oakland’s Oracle Arena on May 7. The following month, Rihanna will embark on a two-month tour through Europe. She will be accompanied by The Weeknd and Big Sean for the European leg.

Tickets for the world tour will go on sale to American Express card members and Tidal subscribers on Nov. 30. A general on-sale date for all shows is scheduled for Dec. 3.

Rihanna's fans have waited over three years for her upcoming album. Her fans were teased with several Samsung ads during the American Music Awards Sunday. The official release date of the album has not yet been revealed.

RiRi revealed the Roy Nachun designed album cover and the title in early October. The “B**** Better have my Money” singer has continued to build the hype for her upcoming release. The album will most likely spend a period of exclusivity on both the Tidal streaming service and Samsung mobile devices, before being available for the general public.

It is being reported by several outlets that the 27-year-old singer is slated to drop her album on Black Friday exclusively on Tidal. She will reportedly go for a worldwide release of her album “Anti” on Dec. 4. The date happens to be Tidal boss rapper Jay Z’s birthday.

Rihanna has released four albums in four years between 2009 and 2012. After her “Unapologetic” back in 2012, there has been no album. But, the Bajan beauty has released three singles “FourFiveSeconds,” “B**** Better Have My Money” and “American Oxygen” in these years. Her album is being executive produced by Kanye West.
