Rihanna to reportedly reschedule postponed London comeback shows for 2026
Rihanna is reportedly planning to reschedule her postponed London Stadium shows for 2026, following a cancelled comeback tour originally expected this summer.
According to The Sun, the singer and her team are working to finalise new dates, which could mark her return to the UK stage after nearly a decade.
The initial rumour of a six-night residency at the London Stadium first surfaced in February via The Telegraph, which cited a “senior concert industry source.” The first date was said to be scheduled for 4 July 2025, but no official announcement ever followed.
A source told The Sun, “Rihanna pulled the plug just days before her 2025 tour was due to be announced. There ended up being issues with production and scheduling conflicts, plus she didn’t feel like her music was ready. But Rihanna and her team are now confident they can make it work for next year.”
The revised 2026 dates are expected to align with the tenth anniversary of Rihanna’s last studio album Anti, which was released in 2016.
Fans can also look forward to new material, as Rihanna is reportedly preparing to share fresh music after years of anticipation.
Earlier this year, she debuted the upbeat Afrobeats-inspired single Friend of Mine, created for the upcoming Smurfs animated film.
Meanwhile, Rihanna is currently pregnant with her third child with A$AP Rocky, adding to the personal milestones surrounding her possible return to music and live performance.
