As earlier reported, Rihanna is set to hit the road.

The 27-year-old model is looking to put the past year of poorly received music behind her and finally accelerate with new album ‘ANTI’ – the world tour for which was announced today.

Sponsored by technology giant Samsung, the trek will play to audiences across the globe and clocks in at over 70 shows.

Tickets go on sale December 3rd at LiveNation.com and fresh reports suggest an album tie-in is likely to be explored so as to buffer sales.

Whatever the case, we just hope she’s leaving the stiff whines, pom pom pats, and gargling goat vocals in times of past. The tour kicks off in February, so she has ample time to right the many wrongs from past jaunts.

In the here and now, check out the first batch of ANTI World Tour dates below…
