With new songs and a huge new album on the horizon, now 'Umbrella' and 'Stay' star Rihanna has announced details of a massive UK tour for 2016.
After the three-and-a-half-year wait for a new album since Unapologetic with just 'Four Five Seconds', 'Bitch Better Have My Money', a perfume range and an ever-increasing net worth to tend to fans' hunger, 2016 will be the year that RiRi cleans up.
Support on the UK and European dates comes from The Weeknd and Big Sean.
The tour announcement comes after news that Rihanna will be releasing her new album Anti by surprise this Friday - dropping it exclusively on TIDAL before receiving a full wider release on Friday 4 December.
Full UK dates for Rihanna's upcoming 2016 UK tour are below. There will be an exclusive pre-sale for TIDAL members from 10am on Monday 30 November until 10pm on Wednesday 2 December, before tickets go on general sale at 9am on Thursday 3 December. For tickets and more information, visit here.

There has been much anticipation around the LP - after the sleeve was revealed and said to 'change the history of album art', the 'Bitch Better Have My Money' video caused quite the controversy, and with Charli XCX telling Gigwise about her appearing on the record.
