Even the pop starlet Rihanna had low ticket sales and several cancellations for her recent Last Girl On Earth tour, in promotion for her Rated R album, she is about to embark on a United States leg for a new tour to promote her latest effort, Loud.
June 4 / Baltimore, MD / 1st Mariner Arena
June 7 / Toronto, ON / Air Canada Centre
June 28 / Los Angeles, CA / Staples Center
June 30 / Oakland, CA / Oracle Arena
July 19 / Philadelphia, PA / Wells Fargo Center
July 21 / East Rutherford, NJ / Izod Center
July 23 / Uniondale, NY / Nassau Coliseum
These are just preliminary dates to kick off the tour, it was revealed that more will be added. Interestingly enough, it seems as though Rihanna is still planning arenas and large venues. Hopefully, she will have an opening act that will also draw in more seat fillers, considering the demise her last tour suffered.
In related news, look out for the singer during the NBA All-Star Game halftime show on Sunday, February 20th in Los Angeles. She is slated to perform.
I cannot see how her tour suffered when she made the same amount of money as Alicia keys with almost the same amount of dates. She canel 3 show reschedule 3 and ppl act like the tour was a bust. How many other female artist can sell out arenas beside beyonce, Alica, Rihanna and MJB.shit I wish i made a million last year
Rihanna- $27 million (50 shows) :
Alicia Keys-$29.4 million ( 43 shows)
Data from Pollstar
why do everybody got to reference to money with everything! if i said i dont like rhianna someone will comment “u mad cuz she got money” blah blah blah its not always about money its about the quality of work you put out! im sure ppl did go to the concerts but that doesnt mean they enjoyed themselves like concreteloop said she is going to have to have a damn good open act for this to sale and to be honest rhianna is headliner material alica keys mjb an beyonce an headline tours cuz they have endless hits that can last well over 2 hours rhianna doesnt so dont even compare them!
isnt* i meant
Endless hit! Who in the last 10 yrs have more hits than RIhanna. you make not like her music,but millions have to like it for her to have the most #1 in the last 10 yes.
The only artist beside Janet and Micheal to have 8 songs in the top 40 off 1 album. lots of beyonce songs she performs
I could do without.She needs to get rid of the DC songs from her show list. those stupid songs radio and video phone too child like i expect that from solja boy. Rihanna is young in the game,but not many artist in the game right now can put their catalog beside hers.
Lets be real here rhianna didnt get any MAJOR success til Good Girl Gone Bad an i never said i didnt like her music but to say rhianna have endless hits is a DAMN LIE! but it dont matta what songs beyonce perform she puts on a damn good show rhianna cant sing live worth nothin an to be honest beyonce is betta live then on a track but hey whatever think wat u want but let it be known im not a beyonce stan im just stating the obvious
I think we all know Beyonce is the best female performer hands down. What you have to realize StLopinion is that Beyonce,Alicia, and MJB have been out for than 10 years. Rihanna have been out for 6 and you have the nerve to act like Rihanna isn’t on top…..lol If she wasn;t on top she wouldnt be compared to them ladies all the time especially Beyonce. For a girl to only have 6 years experience and be where Rihanna at right now just image her 10 year mark =)
I never said rhianna wasnt on top i said she isnt headline material HELL just accept that an move on nick minaj on top can she sell out a arena alone HELL NO! I’m apologize to u guys for realizing what real music is an knowing what a good singing voice is!
yall stupid
she cancelled 4 dates dummies + beyonce also sol her tickets for 20 and 15 dollars.
blacks always hate
Good for her- it’s gonna be produced by LiveNation so I think they will lead her in the right direction. Her performance at teh AMAs was good so I think we can see good things from her!
Like clock work it is always the BLACK BLOGS & BLACKS who speak and post the most negative shit about each other.Thank god RIHANNA does not depend on her people for support , cause we all know what will happen. This young woman made more money than half the music industry and you still point out her faults and failures in a few cancels shows, do mind Jonas brothers and other famous people cancel tons of shows and it was never harped on. Nothing she doe or do will ever be enough for you blacks folks that’s why she continues succeed. I wish Rihanna all the best and hope god continues to give her the strength and will Power to continue on with giving her more blessing.
STFU It IS NOT ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY SHE GOT OR MADE , We need some Quality Control from having to hear her butcher events that we like to watch with her horrific voice! People kill me u hear wat everybody else hear live! I wish you best and hope God gives you the strength to have a better knowledge that all money aint GOOD MONEY!!
So is she really gonna try this again?? LMFAOOOO Rihanna, it didn’t work for you the first time, its not gonna work for you again.
what is your criteria for saying that,because you’re a hater, you just like to ignore facts or you don’t like to read. when you look at the numbers i cannot see how you can say it didn’t work when you compare it to other artist.
And look at your numbers alica keys did 7 less shows an made almost 3 million more cmon now u contradicting yourself!
STLopinion i agree with you 100% your not haitng at all i went to the riri show and i was upset she cant hold a note to save her life her routine was bland. Her songs are catchy but she should perform live because you people who defend her live shows are hypocrits because the same way ciara cant sing neither can rihanna so dont sell your lies and blame blac people for actually knowng what a good voice sounds like. Her numbers tbh dont men anything she just knows how to draw a crowd and crave attention dont give riri credit its her team.
Nya I couldnt agree with u more!!! well said…the more they the more she’s gona continue to be successful. I njoy her music, its the only thing fresh out at the minute … album caters to ur ever mood. Black people need to stop hating on each other – we are our 1st and worst enemy….Rhi keep doing ur thing!!!
Rihanna will be getting drop soon from her record label, I don’t know much about her but I just have a bad feeling, it feels as though she’s hanging by a thread, maybe that thread is Jay-z.
Queen of the Damned
Ya’ll kill me with this “black people don’t support black people.” Just because someone’s black doesn’t mean I should celebrate their mediocrity. I give credit were credit is due.
You Rihanna stans are hilarious to me!
I, for one, wouldn’t try to do another tour if I was Rihanna. Her latest tour was not great; not at all. Why go through that embrassment again? She is not a singer nor is she an entertainer. You stans can sit here && argue all day about her numbers, how many singles she has had, && everything else under the sun but all of that means nothing because she doesn’t see any money from alllll those “hits” she has. I personally feel as if Rihanna little time is about up; what else could she transform into? What’s the next gimmick Def Jam can throw on her? Don’t worry, I’ll wait. Y’all stans have been dubbed twice; your little Rihanna is a puppet && Def Jam has her by the strings. Now go cry a river, build a bridge, && get over it. Rihanna will be joining your cry a river marathon pretty soon.
Im so tired of everybody dogging Rihanna. If you think her income dont matter it DOES. How the hell you think she got that money?????? CONCERTS, APPEARNACES, INTERVIEWS, MAGAZINES COVERS, ENDORSEMENTS!!! These people know Rihanna is a hot girl to put on anything!!!! Yall talk about her performance but I bet yall are some of the same people who will pay to see Keri Hilson and Keyisha Cole but the problem is they dont sell like Rihanna do.. Not in album sales or concerts. Honestly I Rihanna is shittn on yall which is why yall mad because everytime her name is up she talk bad about her. SMH
Whoa, it’s cold as hell in here, what’s with all the damn shade thrown at Rihanna in this post? Tre Tre Declasse!
I know Rihanna canceled Dallas and I was P.O’ed. In addition, I don’t know if she had the many dates, IN THE U.S., to be honest. I’m not a stan, so I don’t know….. Rihanna is alright though. Not great! Her style is what keeps her alive.
