Rihanna Postpones Several ‘Anti’ Tour Dates
Rihanna has postponed several dates for her Anti World Tour. The announcement comes on the heels of the singer cancelling her Grammy performance due to bronchitis.
As Billboard reports, eight dates from the North American leg of the tour have been moved. The tour date tweaks affect San Diego, Houston, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta, Phoenix, New Orleans, and Oakland. An additional date in San Jose was already scheduled to be pushed back. The San Jose show date change is due to “production delays,” a rep for Rihanna told Billboard.
The tour was originally scheduled to begin on February 26th in San Diego, but it will now kick off on March 12th in Jacksonville, FL, and the rescheduled dates will take place in May. Rihanna is scheduled to embark on the European leg of her tour on June 11th.
Rihanna will be touring in support of her eighth studio album, Anti, which she debuted as a stream and download via Tidal last month. Travis Scott will serve as opener for the North American leg of the tour.
