==About the tour==

The second tour is led by Rihanna herself. You receive a completely new image of the singer, with Rihanna wearing more modest, but should be provocative. Also many live versions of songs from different records on Rihanna. They received a total makeover, but was much more rock and guitar-driven than those presented in [[The Good Girl Gone Bad Tour|Good Girl Gone Bad Tour]]. Always intentional, it leaves a little to one side the image of "bad girl" and go for a more mature side in all aspects.

==Supporting acts==

By the time the tour had only two interests: [[Jay-Z]] and [[Young Jeezy]]. The two participated in the concerts that took place on [[16 November]] and [[3 December]]. The first show was sponsored by [[Nokia]]<ref>{{cite news|url=http://nowplaying.nokia.com/|title="Now Playing"|accessdate=2009-21-09}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.rihannanobrasil.com.br/assista-o-show-de-londres-completo/|title="Assista o show de Londres completo"|last= |accessdate=2009-21-09}}</ref> and the second was sent by the [[MSN]]<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.rihannanow.com/events.htm|title="RIHANNA: News & Events"|last= |accessdate=2009-29-09}}</ref> site. Rihanna recently stated that she would love to help [[Cheryl Cole]] break the U.S and have her join the American or Europe leg of her new tour.
