Rihanna and the Live Future of Anti, a look at tours and chart power
23.06.2026 - 06:14:31 | ad-hoc-news.de
Rihanna stands in a unique place in modern pop and R&B, with a catalog that still fills arenas even while she stays off the road. Her eighth album Anti and its singles continue to dominate streaming years after release, keeping demand for a new tour at a constant simmer.
Rihanna’s touring pause
Rihanna’s last full-scale world trek was the Anti World Tour in 2016, a run that included major U.S. arenas such as Brooklyn’s Barclays Center and Los Angeles’ Forum, alongside European stadiums in cities like London and Paris. That tour supported Anti, which produced global hits and solid ticket demand.
Since that run, Rihanna has not announced a new traditional world tour with a full schedule of U.S. and international dates. Instead, she has relied on selective appearances, high-profile performances and her fashion and beauty ventures to maintain visibility.
High-profile stages instead of a tour
In February 2023, Rihanna headlined the Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show in Glendale, Arizona, performing a compact hits set that reignited talk of a potential tour. The performance drew massive television audiences and sent her streaming numbers sharply upward in the following days.
She also briefly returned to the stage in 2023 at the Academy Awards, performing Lift Me Up from Marvel’s Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, where the song was nominated for Best Original Song. These events showed that she can still command global live attention without committing to a long tour.
