Rihanna adds extra date to UK tour

Rihanna has added a new date to the UK leg of her world tour.

The star will travel to Britain with her ‘Diamonds’ world tour in June and will now play an additional date at Manchester Arena on July 16 due to overwhelming demand.

It takes the total number of shows to ten across the UK, including Rihanna’s first ever headline stadium gigs in London and Sunderland.

The singer will play two shows at London’s Twickenham Stadium on June 15 and 16 and a date at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on June 20.

Rihanna began rehearsals last week for her new world tour, which will be in support of her latest studio album Unapologetic.
