Rihanna to perform at Rogers

Rihanna, who was last seen performing with both Drake and Eminem at the 2011 Grammy Awards, will be coming to a stage much closer to you after Live Nation announced Monday the pop star will play Rogers Arena on June 24.

Tickets for the R&B singer's show go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m. through Live Nation, Ticketmaster, Rogers Wireless Box Office and charge-by-phone at 1-855-985-5000.
The Province will be also be giving away front-row tickets. Keep an eye on us over at theprovince. com for details.

Rihanna announced her North American summer tour last week. It begins June 4 in Baltimore and includes a date at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on June 7.

The performer already has an extensive itinerary booked for 2011, with shows scheduled for Australia this month, and a trek that takes her through Europe and the U.K. set to run from September through December.

Rihanna had a little something to say about her new production, and given how generic it is, we'll just assume she's already fairly confident about packing them in.
