Rihanna to headline Wireless Festival
November 9th, 2011 - 8:02 pm ICT by Aishwarya BhattLondon, Nov 9 (THAINDIAN NEWS) R&B singer Rihanna will be the headline star at the Wireless Festival in Europe next year. The concert which will take place at Hyde Park in London will be the only performance in 2012 for the “Only Girl (In The World)” singer.
Rihanna does not have any other confirmed dates in the United Kingdom next year but she is set to rock the nation later this month. The 23-year-old singer is currently on tour and has sold more than 300,000 tickets in the United Kingdom.
The singer expressed her delight at being a headline performer at the festival. She tweeted that, “I am so excited to be headlining Wireless next year!”
She is currently on tour in Europe where she caused quite a stare (literally) when she walked around topless. The singer was filming for a video in Co Down, Northern Ireland last September when the incident happened.
The Wireless Festival is an annual affair and one of the most revered musical concerts in the United Kingdom. Last year, several top-rated stars graced the event. Among the stars who sang at the event were the Black Eyed Peas, pulp and the Chemical Brothers.
Tickets for the festival will go on sale from the 18th of November.
