Finalmente ci siamo! La nuova Era discografica di Rihanna ha raggiunto il momento culmine, e tutto quanto all’improvviso, senza che nulla ci facesse pensare a simili sviluppi. Sappiamo già che il suo prossimo album “Anti” sarà reso disponibile in esclusiva su Tidal a partire da questo venerdì per poi essere reso acquistabile nelle modalità classiche tra qualche venerdì, tuttavia proprio non ci aspettavamo di ricevere già ora delle news anche sul tour.
La diva ha pubblicato giusto qualche minuto fa l’annuncio ufficiale dell’Anti World Tour, la sua prossima tournée mondiale che la riporterà nelle città più prestigiose di tutto il mondo a 2 anni di distanza dal suo ultimo tour da solista, il “Diamonds World Tour” del 2013.

Come potete notare dal tweet rilasciato dalla bella delle Barbados, il tour partirà dagli USA e potrà contare su vari opening act. Tra questi troviamo anche The Weeknd, la rivelazione urban dell’anno, qualcuno che sicuramente non ci aspetteremmo di vedere in qualità di opening act, ma a quanto pare una superstar come Rihanna può permettersi perfino questo.
Un altro dato che ci colpisce è che il tour potrà contare sulla partnership con Samsung, una delle aziende più potenti al mondo, segno di come chi di dovere sia ancora disposto a spendere valanghe di denaro attorno a Rihanna, un artista che checché se ne dica si è rivelata una delle più potenti della sua generazione.
