Rihanna ‘to make music comeback with huge summer stadium shows’

January 15, 2026 – Radio 854 Music News:

Rihanna could finally be gearing up for a long-awaited return to music, with reports suggesting the global superstar is planning a major comeback centred around huge summer stadium shows.

According to industry insiders, the singer is believed to be in advanced discussions about headlining large-scale concerts later this year, marking her first major live performances in several years. The proposed shows would reportedly take place in stadiums, signalling a blockbuster return worthy of one of pop music’s biggest names.

The speculation has reignited excitement among fans who have been waiting since 2016’s ANTI for new music from the Barbadian icon. While Rihanna has stayed largely focused on her Fenty business empire and family life, she has repeatedly hinted that new music is on the way — insisting it has to feel “right” before she releases anything.

If the stadium shows go ahead, they are expected to coincide with the launch of fresh material, although no official release date or tour announcement has been confirmed. Sources suggest the comeback would reflect a new creative chapter for Rihanna, shaped by her experiences over the past few years.

Rihanna last performed at the Super Bowl halftime show in 2023, reminding audiences of her unmatched stage presence and sparking renewed calls for a full-scale return to touring.

For now, fans will have to wait for official confirmation — but all signs point to Rihanna making one of the biggest music comebacks of the summer.
