Rihanna has announced Australian and New Zealand dates for her Diamonds world tour.
The 25-year-old Grammy winner will take in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney before Auckland late September and early October.
The singer kicked off the 77 date tour last Friday in New York but has cancelled tonight's show in Baltimore, citing the flu and laryngitis.
Rihanna was last in the country in March 2011 supporting her 2010 release Loud. Check out The Music Network's live review of her last concert here.
Her seventh album, Unapologetic (2012) reached Gold certification and peaked at #8 on the ARIA chart. It topped the Australian Urban chart.
Rihanna's single Diamonds was co-written by our very own Sia and US rapper/producer Benny Blanco. Watch Sia perform the ARIA #6 single at the Norwegian-American Achievement Award Ceremony.
