Rihanna Plans 2026 World Tour Amid Third Pregnancy, Marks 10th Anti Anniversary

Rihanna, currently expecting her third child with partner A$AP Rocky, has rescheduled her long-awaited return to touring to 2026 after canceling a planned six-show residency in London for summer 2025. The rescheduled tour will mark her first UK performances since 2016 and coincide with the tenth anniversary of her album Anti, with fans anticipating new music from her upcoming ninth album. Despite the challenges of pregnancy and motherhood, Rihanna is determined to make a meaningful comeback, supported by her partner and committed to delivering a significant follow-up to her previous work. The initial 2025 London shows were quietly canceled in a private meeting just before the public announcement, with preparations for the concerts having been in advanced stages. Rihanna has expressed in interviews that her time away from music has been purposeful, aiming to ensure her new work "matters" and is worth the wait. This tour and new album are highly anticipated events that highlight her balance of family life and career resurgence.
