Rihanna has announced a string of live dates across the UK in 2013 taking place next summer. Tickets are on sale at 9am, Tuesday 20 November. Full details below.

The UK leg of the tour will start at Cardiff's Millenium Stadium, on 10 June, and take in Manchester, London and Birmingham before finishing at Sunderland's Stadium of Light on 20 June.

David Guetta will be a special guest joining Rihanna for the London, Cardiff and Sunderland dates.

The UK dates are part of the European section of the Diamonds world tour, which includes Barcelona, Spain and Paris, France - and is promoting Rihanna's recently released album, Unapologetic.

The news follows Rihanna's earlier announcement this week of a London show, as part of her upcoming 777 tour. The ambitious dates will see Rihanna attempt to play 7 shows in 7 cities in 7 dates - hence the name - while partying with fans and journalists on a jumbo jet.

Rihanna will be performing in London on the same date that the Unapologetic album is released, 19 November, so it promises to be an event to remember. According to Capital FM, the venues won't be announced until the day of the concerts.

Ticket details for 777 have yet to be announced, but the Diamond tour tickets are going on sale on Tuesday 20 November next week at 9am. Check out the UK tour dates below. For more information visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.
