Rihanna is rumoured to be announcing a huge London residency – and this is everything we know so far.
The singer is said to be planning a six-night run at London Stadium – with the first date taking place on 4 July – according to reports from the Telegraph.
The residency is not yet confirmed, with the newspaper claiming that a “senior concert industry source” says the shows are at an advanced planning stage, with an announcement expected in the coming weeks.
Her shows at West Ham’s home ground would take place days after Glastonbury, with the singer regularly rumoured to headline the Worthy Farm festival.
The “Rude Boy” singer was widely believed to have been booked to headline in 2023, only to be forced to pull out after becoming pregnant and replaced by Guns N’ Roses.
The 2025 edition of Glastonbury has only announced one headliner so far, with Neil Young confirmed to be performing at the festival.
So the timing of Rihanna’s rumoured shows is noteworthy as festival goers are hotly-anticipating the next lineup announcement.
If she announces the London shows it would mark her first headline dates since the ANTI World Tour in 2016.
The tour consisted of 75 shows and stopped off in the US, Canada and Europe and was in support of her acclaimed LP ANTI.
That album also marks her last release with the singer only releasing “Lift Me Up” for the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack and featuring on DJ Khaled and Kendrick Lamar tracks.
She also performed the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show, which marked her first performance in seven years. The hit-packed setlist featured “We Found Love”, “Diamonds”, “Umbrella” and “Work” to name a few.
Is Rihanna announcing London Stadium shows?
The news is yet to be confirmed by the singer or venue. But fans can keep an eye out on social media channels for both as well as Ticketmaster and Live Nation.
Similar rumours happened ahead of Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter Tour, with six nights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium confirmed.
We’ll update this with the latest news on Rihanna announcing London Stadium shows for 2025.
