Rihanna To Headline ‘Rock In Rio’

Published: Friday 20th Mar 2015 by Sam

Lookout Brazil! Rihanna is bringing her brand lazy stage mayhem to ‘Rock In Rio!’

Details below…

The Bajan model has been announced as the latest headliner at this year’s instalment of the annual music extravaganza.

Set to take place in Rio Di Janeiro, the multi-day festival will welcome Ms. Fenty as its top billed act on September 26th.

Though booked in support of the star’s eighth studio album, it’s anyone’s guess if the project will even be out by then. Delayed in earnest (we have our sources), the campaign has been as confusing Rih’s vocals.

Still, kudos where due. This is an incredibly good look. For her sake, here’s hoping her project is ready to roll come September.

    • Mark111 March 20, 2015

      Bloop!

  2. I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

    She’s headlining another festival. Great. A certain 33 year old slüt could never. Hahahahaha

    • Molly March 20, 2015

      That 33 year old runs your mind lmao you’re a s**** for Beyonce bîtch.

      • I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

        But FutureCIARA runs your life. LMFAO!!!! You’re pretty much everyone’s lesser.

      • Ciara the Flop March 20, 2015

        He didn’t say that Beyoncé was the 33 year old slût, you hérpes-flaring twät. Instead, you outed the overrated singer. I swear these Beyoncé and Ciara stan fågs are the biggest losers on this site.

    • Janice March 20, 2015

      Do i have to remind you when she headlined festivals and she didn’t even had an album out? Go see the dates of Mrs. Carter Tour, boo.

    • Tyler March 20, 2015

      ????????????

    • Mike March 20, 2015

      No shade but these are sloppy seconds Lol. Bey headlined here already (with no album out).

    • Janice March 20, 2015

      Brazilians like Rihanna? Yes.
      Rihanna did a good show last time she performed at Rock in Rio? No.

      She should try not to get drunk like the last time and actually perform her songs.

    • Lana Del Fan *I Can Hear The Sirens* March 20, 2015

      No tea no shade but bey did it two years ago.

      Anywho I’m hoping RIHANNA slays

      • I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

        Rihanna is headling two festivals: The NCAA March Madness and this. I never said the whóre has never did Rock in Rio.

      • Ciara the Flop March 20, 2015

        Lana could never…all t all shade

    • Rosie March 20, 2015

      You’re so tiring. Bey already headlined Glastonbury (mpst prestigious and well-known festival in the world), plus many others, but we all know you’re just here for a kii!! or whatever.

      • P**** Juice March 20, 2015

        How much UltraPussy sold? Why can’t lana have a top 10 single ? (Dont use the indie thing argument since many indie songs became hits the past year). Stupid canadian ass mothafucka.

  3. Cough Cough March 20, 2015

    Well her singing and dancing leave HOARDS to be desired but I know she will slaying lives with her Rio inspired ensemble, so we can all look forward to that!

  4. Stephy March 20, 2015

    Sam LATE! He’s salty that Rihanna is slaying…

  5. Molly March 20, 2015

    Good for Rihanna, Sam your shade is pointless and so tired at this point.

    • Mark111 March 20, 2015

      You’re 3 months late. He was never clever with it, just hate. At least be witty enough for a laugh.

  6. I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

    How can an artist who’s been in the game for 10 years be more iconic than someone who’s been active for 18 years? ROTFLMFAO. There’s some food for thought. 😆

    • BeyIsKing March 20, 2015

      The obsession!!!

      • Ciara the Flop March 20, 2015

        The obsession is that stupid BeyHĪV+e f**** like you have to out your favorite singer to reply to someone you think is shading her. How about ignoring subliminal shot if can’t call beyonce out by name. Get a job and out of the homeless shelter wasting my tax dollars.

    • trellbeylike March 20, 2015

      Beyoncé has two legends awards and Rihanna has two icon awards. Beyoncé is making more money. Rihanna cant close a deal without calling Beyoncé’s husband. Let that sink in.

      • Ciara the Flop March 20, 2015

        Awards are bought and negotiated. Even the few intelligent BeyHIVe members know Bey ain’t a legend (and barely an icon).

    • Ciara the Flop March 20, 2015

      Easily. No one has accused Rihanna of being a copycat of anyone. On the other Beyoncé has been accused of biting Janet, Shakira, jLo, Mariah, Tina, Britney, Ciara, Fergie, Diana, Vanessa, Jennifer and Rihanna (among others).

  7. The Beysus Impact March 20, 2015

    Well she needs to do SOME type of promotion sooner or later…

  8. BeyIsKing March 20, 2015

    She’s so lazy on stage, her name and “performing” shouldn’t be in the same sentence

    • dc forever March 22, 2015

      THE thumb up button won’t work on ur post but yeah …. RIH is a lazy performer

  9. Applause March 20, 2015

    She better get some vocal lessons before she goes on stage trying to sing “Towards The Sun”

    Is @IStandForTalent LBs new troll account or something? But I do agree Gaga after 6 years has done more than Beyonce.

    • LB March 20, 2015

      Is irrelevant the title of Lady Gaga’s new album or something?

  10. Rihyeezy March 20, 2015

    YESSS

  11. Applause March 20, 2015

    Wheres that h** Rosie?

    • Rosie March 20, 2015

      Right here f**.
      I see you and the other Little Cutters still care more about yours truly than your own supposed fave. Can F*** headline anything other than NYC Pride without clinging to 88 year old d***?

  12. Tyler March 20, 2015

    She is lazy.
    Her performances have the same affect as Nyquil.

    • I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

      “Effect” Tyler, not “affect.” 😆

      • Mark111 March 20, 2015

    @I Troll For “Talent”

    Its funny how you keep on calling Beyonce a s*** when Rihanna’s been linked to more dudes than the whole Book of Negro’s.

  15. I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

    When is the queen getting a coveted #1 hit on the hot 100 this decade? LOL. What a queen.

    • Alex March 21, 2015

      Can Rihanna get a at least 2 more #1 albums this decade? Can she catch up with Bey and her 20 grammys? Can she be #1 on the Forbes list this century?? #Questionsthatneedanswers

  16. TheElusiveLamb March 20, 2015

    I LOVE Brazil! Every artist performs their best there bc the audience is so energetic and they participate in every thing you say. When I went there to see Beyoncé with my sister vs seeing Beyoncé in Houston with my BFF Brazil was WAY more fun. Rihanna will slay it.

  17. Rosebud (Natalie La Rose Stan) March 20, 2015

    Rih Rih better slay! I hope Natalie La Rose is able to perform there, maybe with Flo Rida. I’ve always wanted to go to these major festivals

    • metzo March 20, 2015

      Oh Lord, a new Stan commenter. Pls dont start S***. N welcome 🙂

      • Rosebud (Natalie La Rose Stan) March 20, 2015

        Thanks! I’m not a shady stan like some of these girls

  18. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) March 20, 2015

    “She is lazy.
    Her performances have the same affect as Nyquil.”

    So you also don’t know the difference between ‘effect’ and ‘affect’.

        You didn’t edit it because you simply didn’t know the difference between them. That’s what happens when you skip classes to get your loose ass f***ēd in the bathroom stalls. #NoWalls #NoEducation

  19. Cough Cough March 20, 2015

    I guess the “her vocal improvements” thing will be The Navy’s delusion this era when she sounds the same and in some songs, vocally worse.

  20. Selenator March 20, 2015

    So does that mean she’s doing a Summer release? And I need receipts of these sources. Anyways, I need Selena to book Rio. She has thousands of fans there and with her new label in Interscope she has resources too.

  21. #JACKIE March 20, 2015

    Files nails though? I don’t think filing will get the dirt and grease from underneath those bear claws. I wonder how that ESL course is coming along though. Your grammar clearly hasn’t inproved that much. 🙂

    For the last time, stop commenting on other peoples grammar when your own grammar/spelling is atrocious. You’re making an absolute mockery of yourself.

    • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) March 20, 2015

      The letters ‘n’ and ‘m’ are beside each other on the qwerty keyboard sweetheart. It was a typo that I corrected immediately. ‘Affect’ is a verb while ‘effect’ is a noun; two completely different words. I love the fact that I get you so upset that you have to dig up my old comments. You’re still a dumb b***** and your alter egos are even dumber. #dismissed

  24. Gee March 20, 2015

    Kudos to Rihanna for keeping it moving despite the daily hate of Sam and many others. In a decade Rihanna has accomplished what most only dream. In this Beyoncé and Rihanna world these other Pop chicks are trying to keep up.

  25. Tyler aka Slayhive aka Naomi needs a life March 20, 2015

    Oh my Tyler posting old comments again.

    • SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) March 20, 2015

      That’s basically where her life starts and stops. I bet “Slayriah Carey thatgrapejuice” is always at the top of her Google search history.

    • Naomi March 20, 2015

      Hi Blue Ivy Rod. You’re not fooling anyone boo

  26. Rosie March 20, 2015

    Yeah but Bey has done Glastonbury and a million other festivals much, MUCH bigger than a free college basketball fest, I don’t understand the drag? Your arms must be so tired from reaching so hard all the time.

    This blog recycles the same writing in literally every post, now THAT’S lazy. This is still better than the headliners for most of the North American majors announced so far.

    • Rima March 20, 2015

      But has Lana? B**** stop clinging to Bey

      • I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

        Read her flip floping ass.

      • Rosie March 20, 2015

        Lana pre-headlined the main stage at Glastonbury JUST last year playing to around 50,000. Has F*** played a major festival since 2010? Will he ever book a major festival again?

  27. I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

    Gosh. Is T**** the African submissive bottom still digging up old articles for drags? SMH. I keep forgetting that the fleahive cant drag. That’s all their good for. Take note of how the bottom is not worth the acknowledgement. 😆

  28. Rima March 20, 2015

    Funny how this Lana stan always wants to cling to Bey whenever its getting dragged.

    • Rosie March 20, 2015

      Funny how literally every comment you leave on this blog has to do with either me or Lana. Get Ass To Mouth to scan 1 million worldwide first then we’ll talk.

  29. RL8(#BeyInspired) March 20, 2015

    The salvation army loves to scream “thiefonce,” and talk about how Rihanna inspired Beyonce is, but let me ask yall a question. How does it feel knowing that Rihanna is back to being the carbon copy? The Bajan Beyonce? I mean the snippets after snippets, the kids movie and soundtrack. Yeah rih has been very #Beyinspired. Giving me 2013 Beyonce tease. The funny thing is that when Beyonce did it she was “scared to release” “Rihanna had her shook” “she washed up” etc. But now that its Rihanna its “oh she’s taking her time” and “she never had a release date to begin with.” The other thing I find funny is that if it were the other way around-Rihanna released her album the way Bey did & then Bey did what rihanna is doing now-yall would be like “Copyonce” and “Rih out here inspiring h***.”

    • I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

      ROTFLMFAO!!!!!! How long have you been preparing that nonsense of an essay? So stupid. *DEAD*

      • RL8(#BeyInspired) March 20, 2015

        It isn’t an essay; It’s a paragraph and it didn’t take but 5 minutes to write. But seeing as how your a r****** with an IQ that could never manage to pass the single digits and the reading level of a c********* I could understand why you’d see it as a 10 page manifesto. Now please see your ugly a***-infected a$$ out of my reply section.

    What does Lana headline besides Graveyard tours?

    • Rosie March 20, 2015

      Has F*** headlined any major festival since Lollapalooza 2010? Lana is headlining multiple fests this year alone.

  31. metzo March 20, 2015

    Uhmm.. her last Rock In Rio was a disaster.

  32. I STAN(D) FOR TALENT March 20, 2015

    ROTFLMFAO!!!!!! How long have you been preparing that nonsense of an essay? So stupid. *DEAD*

  33. metzo March 20, 2015

    With that being said, Brazil HIVE is the best crowd EVER!! They were so loud and energetic when Bey headlined Rock In RiO , from beginning to end!

    And this was the Highlight for me: https://youtu.be/8c3Sve–HaE

    • Paulo March 20, 2015

      thanks booboo. I will never forget when Bey said her best show EVER was in São Paulo, my first time seeing her… when she asked if there was any DC fans in the house, I swear my vocal cords tore up from screaming lol

  34. RihYonce March 20, 2015

    Beyoncé headlined this in 2013 with no new music , as well as Glastonbury in 2011, oxygen festival beyonce headlined so many festivals your favs can only imagine . So what she hasn’t had a number on the hot 100 in a while but her songs made more impact than the ones that went number 1. She has 5 singles of self titled that sold over a million, rihanna has 1 album that went #1 out of 8! But her albums still made impact , Rihanna has already headlined rock in rio as well I think after the rated r era or loud stop shading these 2 it’s getting ridiculous , Beyoncé is the clear winner lets not be delusional but I love Rihanna too

  35. rihicon March 20, 2015

    congra rih! I hope it’s recorded.

    and yall continue to call I stand for talent a troll(and have exposed it) but continue to fall for its antics in every post… idgi.

  36. Marcella March 20, 2015

    If her last disasterous Rock in Rio was anything to go bye… Child. Wheres Gilberto to drag I miss him. Repping Brazilian Hive.

  37. Laughing At Welches March 20, 2015

    “We have our sources” = we’re just being shady and childish cause we love to hate rihanna

  38. Rosie March 20, 2015

    Can that f** Rima even breathe without mentioning Lana? No wonder Ultraviolence is still charting nine months later whereas FAGPOP hasn’t even sold 200K worldwide since February 2014.

    • Paulo March 20, 2015

      still charting yet it hasn’t outsold any of GaGa’s albums, even her so called flop? kiiiii UltraEarRape

      • Rosie March 20, 2015

        But it probably will? FAGPOP is probably selling less than 500 copies a week now since it isn’t even top 1000 on iTunes while Ultraviolence outsold Ass To Mouth everywhere except the U.S. with literally no promo. A front loaded mess.

  39. girlbye March 20, 2015

    But rihanna never had a release date though…didnt beyonce say in a magazine that she was looking at an april release in 2013????

  40. Paulo March 20, 2015

    I hope this means she’s touring the country tho! I wanna see her live but I ain’t moving my ass to Rio DE*** Janeiro

  41. Rory March 20, 2015

    Why is Sam acting like this is Rihanna’s first time headlining Rock in Rio???? LOL

  42. Yazmine March 20, 2015

    We all know who the Brazilians really stan for… Beyonce

  43. RihHive March 20, 2015

    Book them stage/concert you speak of Rih

  44. Blue Ivy Rodriguez March 20, 2015

    shouldn’t the hive be focused on gathering their life savings to afford tacky shoes that beyonce has coming up?

  45. RihAmerican (hives scared of R8) March 20, 2015

    Who can stop this girl??

  46. FutureCIARA March 20, 2015

    Im here for the shady delivery by Sam tho!!!!
