Rihanna concert chronology

The Anti World Tour [2] (stylized as ANTI World Tour) was the seventh, and most recent, concert tour by Barbadian singer Rihanna, in support of her eighth studio album, Anti (2016). The tour was announced on November 15, 2015 and began on March 12, 2016, in Jacksonville and ended on November 27, 2016, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Contents

The show was met with acclaim from music critics who praised Rihanna's stage presence and confidence. Commercially, the Anti World Tour was a downgrade from Rihanna’s previous tours as she struggled to fill venues in multiple places such as the United Center in Chicago. The tour grossed more than $61 million (USD) from its first 59 shows as reported by Pollstar. [3]

Background

After the release of her seventh studio album, Unapologetic , (2012) and her fifth concert tour, the Diamonds World Tour, Rihanna went on a hiatus. Between 2005 and 2012, Rihanna released or re-released at least one album a year. However, in 2013, Rihanna took a step back from music and did not release a new album that year or the following. [4] Instead Rihanna opted to take part in other endeavors, starring in a 3D animated film entitled Home , alongside Jim Parsons, Steve Martin and Jennifer Lopez, as well as executively producing its accompanying soundtrack. [5]

In November 2015, it was announced that Rihanna had signed a $25 million contract with Samsung to not only promote Samsung's Galaxy line of products, but to also sponsor the release of Anti and its supporting tour. [6] On November 23, 2015, Rihanna announced she would be embarking on "The Anti World Tour". [7] The Samsung-sponsored tour began in March 2016, with Travis Scott supporting in North America, and Big Sean and DJ Mustard supporting at selected European dates. [8]

Critical reception

North America

In a review for The New York Times , Jon Caramanica stated that Rihanna was at her "most confident" and "the most present she's ever been onstage", calling her dancing "casual" and that she "appeared to be finding joy in singing — when she was doing it." [9] Reviewing the Los Angeles concert, Latifah Muhammad from VIBE described the tour as a "randomly epic road trip." [10]

Europe

Ed Power from The Telegraph gave Dublin concert four stars, writing that the tour "didn't waste time on embellishments and instead delivered full-strength shots of sass and escapism." [11] The London concert also received four stars from The Guardian , where Michael Cragg praised the singer's "unshakeable Rihanna-ness; that perfect pop voice, the undeniable presence, that couldn't-give-a-shit attitude." [12]
