The Anti World Tour[1] is the seventh concert tour by Barbadian singer Rihanna in support of her eighth studio album Anti. The tour was announced in November 2015 and began on March 12, 2016, in Jacksonville and will end on November 27, 2016, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It is scheduled to take place in North America and Europe and Australia with 80 shows in total
Background
Following 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.[2] 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.[3]
In November 2015, it was announced that Rihanna had inked 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.[4] On November 23, 2015, Rihanna announced she would be embarking on "The Anti World Tour".[5] The Samsung-sponsored tour will start in March 2016, with Travis Scott supporting in North America and Big Sean supporting at selected European dates.[6]
