\Hold onto your Fenty gloss, Navy – the Queen is reclaiming her throne! In a move that’s exploding across social media like a diamond-encrusted grenade, Rihanna has officially announced the **ANTI World Tour 2026**, a stadium-shattering spectacle celebrating the 10th anniversary of her iconic *ANTI* album, the joyous arrival of her newborn daughter Rocki Irish Mayers, and a fiery nod to partner A$AP Rocky’s upcoming birthday. Fresh off welcoming baby No. 3 on September 13, the 37-year-old mogul – who’s balanced empire-building with motherhood like a boss – is storming 30 unforgettable cities across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America. From Wembley’s thunderous roar in London to Paris’ Eiffel Tower glow-up, Tokyo’s neon-drenched frenzy, Rio’s Carnival-fueled inferno, and Sydney Harbour’s fireworks finale, this isn’t just a tour; it’s a worldwide takeover pulsing with unapologetic RiRi energy. “From baby bliss to birthday heat, this is our family’s fierce chapter – and the world’s about to feel it,” Rihanna teased in a sultry Instagram Live, her signature smirk lighting up screens everywhere.

The announcement, dropped via a lavish Live Nation presser and a cinematic teaser video directed by Harmony Korine (of *Spring Breakers* fame), comes just weeks after Rihanna cradled her pink-blanketed bundle of joy in heart-melting IG posts, captioning them simply: “Rocki Irish Mayers. Sept 13 2025 .” The little firecracker – joining big brothers RZA (3) and Riot Rose (2) – arrived amid whispers of a third pregnancy revealed at the May 2025 Met Gala, where RiRi stunned in a pinstripe gown that screamed “bump and boss.” Sources say the tour’s genesis sparked in those hazy postpartum glow days, with Rihanna channeling maternal magic into a setlist blending *ANTI*’s raw anthems (“Work,” “Needed Me,” “Kiss It Better”) with fresh cuts from her long-teased ninth studio album, *R9*. “Rocki’s cry was the ultimate muse – fierce, unfiltered, just like Mom,” an insider dishes. And timing it around Rocky’s October 3 birthday? Pure poetry. The rapper-dad, 37, who’s been RiRi’s rock through it all, gets a global shoutout: Expect custom “Flacko Season” interludes and surprise cameos, turning arenas into birthday raves.

Kicking off March 12, 2026 – exactly a decade after the original *ANTI World Tour* launch – this 60-date juggernaut promises pyrotechnics, aerial acrobatics, and wardrobe drops hotter than Fenty’s latest Savage x Fenty lingerie line. North America leads with multi-night stands at LA’s SoFi Stadium (March 12-14), NYC’s MetLife (March 20-22), and Toronto’s Rogers Centre, where Drake might slide in for a “Work” remix redux. Europe erupts in May: London’s Wembley Stadium (May 15-17) will quake under 90,000 voices chanting “Umbrella,” while Paris’ Stade de France (May 25) glows with Eiffel projections syncing to “Stay.” Asia’s neon pulse hits Tokyo Dome (July 10-12), blending J-pop vibes with RiRi’s island roots, and Seoul’s Jamsil Olympic Stadium gets a K-beauty collab twist via Fenty Skin tie-ins.

South America’s Carnival spirit ignites in August: Rio’s Maracanã (Aug 5-7) fuses samba beats with “Pour It Up,” promising feathered headdresses and beachy afterparties. Buenos Aires’ River Plate and Mexico City’s Foro Sol follow, with Bogotá’s El Campín closing the leg in a salsa-infused frenzy. The Down Under finale? Sydney’s Accor Stadium (Oct 10-12), exploding in harbor fireworks as Rihanna toasts Rocky’s belated birthday bash – insiders hint at a family stage moment with the kids waving from wings. “It’s intimate chaos: RiRi owning the mic, Rocky hyping the crowd, and their little ones symbolizing the legacy,” the source adds. Production, helmed by Live Nation and Stufish Entertainment (U2’s Sphere wizards), boasts sustainable sets from recycled Fenty fabrics, holographic baby Rocki cameos, and AR filters letting fans “dance with RiRi” via app.

Fans are losing it – #ANTIWorldTour2026 has trended globally with 5 million posts in hours, memes of Rihanna’s Super Bowl 2023 bump morphing into tour armor flooding TikTok. “RiRi back after baby No. 3? Motherhood slays harder than any single,” one viral X thread raves, while another quips, “Rocky’s bday gift: World domination with wifey. Goals.” The Navy’s thirst is real; presales crashed Ticketmaster twice, with VIP packages ($1,500+) including Fenty goodie bags, meet-and-greets, and “Rocki-inspired” pink boxing glove merch. Critics hail it as Rihanna’s phoenix rise: After a decade of beauty billions (Fenty’s $1.4B valuation), fashion flexes, and family focus, this tour cements her as pop’s ultimate multitasker. “She’s not just returning; she’s redefining,” says *Rolling Stone*’s senior editor. “From postpartum power to global glow – RiRi’s heat is eternal.”

A$AP Rocky, fresh off his *Don’t Be Dumb* album drop, echoed the hype in a joint statement: “RiRi’s vision is fire – celebrating our girl, my day, and 10 years of *ANTI* rebellion. Navy, get ready to explode.” With rumored openers like SZA, Tems, and Rocky himself, this isn’t a comeback; it’s a coronation. Tickets drop November 1 – but fair warning: They’ll vanish faster than a Fenty holiday sale. Rihanna’s message to the world? “We found love in a hopeless place… now let’s burn it down together.” The Queen is back, baby – and the planet’s about to sizzle.
