There has been much speculation surrounding Rihanna's potential debut at the Glastonbury festival this year. It's been a decade since her last album, but rumors are swirling that the iconic singer will be headlining the festival while we eagerly wait for new music.
Fans have been anxiously anticipating new music from the Barbadian songstress for 10 years now. However, instead of releasing new music, she has been busy with her businesses, including her makeup and underwear lines. Despite receiving rave reviews for her last album, Anti, Rihanna has chosen to focus on her businesses and building her family with partner A$AP Rocky.
The last time the Fenty founder went on tour was during her Anti World Tour in 2016, which included a stop at London's Wembley Stadium. But according to sources, she may be making her return to the stage with a major residency at London Stadium, possibly around the same time as this year's Glastonbury festival. Insiders in the music industry are speculating that this could mean an appearance at Glastonbury is also in the works.
According to a senior concert industry source, Rihanna is in the final stages of planning a six-concert residency at London Stadium, with two shows rumored to be scheduled for July 4th and 5th. Additional shows may also take place on July 8th, 9th, 11th, and 12th, just days after this year's Glastonbury festival ends. Another source claims that the star's promoters are reserving the venue for her.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting new music from Rihanna, and last year, there were reports that she was working on her ninth album. A source shared that the wait for the album has been a running joke, but finally, the wait is almost over. The insider also revealed that Rihanna has been experimenting with different sounds, from reggae to hip hop to pop, in an attempt to find her voice for this highly anticipated album.
In October 2023, it was reported that Rihanna signed a comeback deal worth £32 million with Live Nation, bringing her one step closer to releasing Anti's follow-up. There have also been promises of collaborations, including with Alesso and Diplo. However, due to Rihanna's desire for a fresh sound, most of the album was scrapped earlier this year and is now being reworked.
Despite the setbacks, things are finally coming together, and the Fenty Beauty founder is targeting a release date in 2025. According to the insider, this will also be a big year for Rihanna, with a massive tour in the works with Live Nation and a potential appearance at Glastonbury.
Last year's festival saw Dua Lipa and Coldplay as headliners, with Sza closing the weekend to mixed reviews. Rihanna has never performed at Glastonbury, although she was reportedly set to in 2023 before having to pull out due to her pregnancy with her son, Riot Rose. Elton John, Guns n' Roses, and Arctic Monkeys took the stage that year, with Elton John's performance receiving thunderous applause.
While Rihanna has been living her best life as a business mogul, she has also been raising her family with A$AP Rocky away from the spotlight. The couple has two sons, RZA and Riot, and the insider suggests that her album may be released in late 2024 or early 2025, giving time for vinyl pressings to be completed.
