Rihanna’s UK fans will have to wait a bit longer to see her live, as her planned summer tour in England has been postponed until 2026. This delay comes as the 37-year-old singer prepares to welcome her third child with rapper A$AP Rocky. The rescheduled tour will also mark the tenth anniversary of her acclaimed album Anti and is expected to feature new music, making it a special comeback for the pop star.

Recently, Rihanna made a surprise appearance at the Giorgio Baldi boutique in Santa Monica, Los Angeles. The singer, who is expecting a baby girl, was seen dressed casually in a loose gray hoodie and blue jeans, subtly covering her baby bump. She completed the look with a white faux-fur shawl, gold accessories, braided hair, and bronzed makeup, showing her signature effortless style even while pregnant.

Reports from The Sun and Daily Mail reveal that Rihanna’s pregnancy was the main reason behind the tour postponement. She reportedly declined offers to perform at West Ham’s stadium during a private meeting before the concerts were publicly announced. Her team now feels confident that rescheduling the tour to 2026 will allow Rihanna the necessary time to focus on her family and prepare a successful return to the stage.

Insiders describe Rihanna as the “perfect working mom,” highlighting the strong support she receives from A$AP Rocky. This won’t be the first time she’s balanced her music career with motherhood, as she is already a mother of two young children. The decision to delay the tour reflects a careful strategy to ensure she can give her full attention to both her growing family and her artistic ambitions.

Though the postponement may disappoint some fans, the 2026 tour promises to be a major event celebrating Anti’s legacy and introducing new material. This will be Rihanna’s first UK tour since 2016, making it a highly anticipated milestone in her career and a special moment for her loyal followers.
