The first date of what seems to be a joint tour with Rihanna and Kanye West has been revealed, marking the start of one of the biggest tours of 2015.
As fansite KanyeToThe points out, Live Nation has released the first date of the co-headliner tour which will take place on 25 July starting in Tallinn, Estonia. Tickets were set to go on sale 5 March, although the page has subsequently been deleted.
Could we expect an announcement in the coming weeks?
Given that West revealed on the Grammys red carpet that he is executive producing Rihanna's eighth studio album the news shouldn't come as a surprise - but any opportunity to see two of the most talked about figures in R&B and hip-hop on the same bill shouldn't be missed. Put it this way: if it's a patch on Rihanna's The Monster tour with Eminem, we're all in for a treat - espcially judging by Kanye and Rihanna's performance with Paul McCartney at the Grammys.

If the co-headlining dates do go ahead, this would make this West's second joint tour, following his hugely successful Watch The Throne extravaganza with Jay-Z back in 2012. It's all a far cry from when, in 2009, Lady Gaga and Kanye had to scrap their joint 'Fame Kills' tour following outcry over West's Taylor Swift MTV interruption.
Rumours first began to circulate at the start of the month after an anonymous source sent a photo to Complex Magazine, indicating that West and Rihanna may be heading out on the road together. Our only hope is that while clearly aimed at recreating the wonder of Jay-Z and Beyonce's On The Run tour this time the two performers bring the show to the UK.
