Rihanna, the undisputed queen of pop and fashion, has dropped the bombshell of the year: the Anti World Tour 2026, a stadium-shaking extravaganza set to ignite the globe next summer. Announced on October 13, 2025, via a dazzling Instagram Live from her Los Angeles mansion, the tour celebrates two monumental milestones— the birth of her third child with A$AP Rocky and Rocky’s 38th birthday on October 3. “This is for our family, our fans, and the music that’s been brewing in my soul,” Rihanna beamed, her voice crackling with emotion as Rocky joined her on screen, cradling their newborn son, Riot Rose, born just weeks ago. With 30 unforgettable stops across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America, the tour promises a “stadium-shaking spectacle” blending high-energy anthems from her long-awaited new album with intimate family tributes.
The Anti World Tour takes its name from Rihanna’s iconic 2016 album Anti, but evolves it into a rebellious, joyful odyssey reflecting her life as a mother of three—RZA (2) and Riot Rose (newborn) joining big sister Kulture from her previous relationship. “Rocky’s my rock, and this baby’s our blessing—2026 is about love, legacy, and letting loose,” she said, hinting at the new album’s themes of resilience and romance. Rocky, 37, will join her onstage for select duets, including a reimagined “Fashion Killa” mashup with Fenty flair. The setlist teases tracks from the forthcoming LP, produced by heavyweights like The Weeknd and Max Martin, fusing R&B fire with dancehall roots.
Kicking off June 1 in Los Angeles at SoFi Stadium, the tour storms through 30 cities, each tailored for maximum magic. North America’s leg hits Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium for sultry vibes, Chicago’s Soldier Field for Midwest heat, and ends with a triumphant Madison Square Garden blowout in New York. Europe roars to life in London’s Wembley Stadium on July 15, where RiRi vows “the roof will lift with Bad Gal energy.” Paris gets Eiffel Tower glow under the stars at Stade de France, while Berlin’s Olympiastadion pulses with electronic edges.
Asia’s neon frenzy explodes in Tokyo’s Tokyo Dome on August 20, blending J-pop influences with Rihanna’s island soul. South America’s Carnival heat peaks in Rio de Janeiro’s Maracanã on September 5, with samba-infused surprises, and Sydney Harbour fireworks cap the Down Under finale at Accor Stadium on October 10. “Every city’s a story—Wembley for my UK fam, Rio for the rhythm, Sydney for the sparkle,” Rihanna teased.
Tickets go on sale October 20 via Ticketmaster, with presales for Navy fan club members starting October 17. Prices range from $150 to $1,500 for VIP packages including meet-and-greets and Fenty goodie bags. Expect sold-out speed: Rihanna’s last tour, the 2016 Anti World Tour, grossed $110 million.
Fans are losing it: #AntiWorldTour2026 trended worldwide within hours, with tweets like “RiRi + Rocky + baby joy? Take my money NOW!” The tour isn’t just a concert—it’s a celebration of life’s highs, from newborn cuddles to birthday bashes. As Rihanna, 37, enters motherhood’s next chapter, Anti World Tour 2026 proves she’s not slowing down. The queen is rising—stadiums beware.
