She has sold 54 million albums and 210 million digital tracks worldwide making her the top-selling digital artist of all time.

She's released 7 albums in 7 years, achieved 13 number one singles and won 8 Grammy Awards.

She is the most viewed artist on Vevo/YouTube with more than 7 billion views and 23 Vevo certified videos, the most of any artist. She is also one of the biggest artists on Facebook with more than 81 million friends.

Tickets will go on sale from December 3 and will be available from www.livenation.com.

Details of hospitality packages will be announced on the club’s website, www.lccc.co.uk and social media channels @LancsCCC in due course.

Daniel Gidney, Chief Executive of LCCC, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be welcoming Rihanna to Emirates Old Trafford. Her concert follows on from last year’s fantastic Foo Fighters gig which sold out within days. To have another world class musical act performing at our venue underlines our position as major player in attracting the very best artists to Manchester.

“Next summer promises to be another busy and exciting year for Emirates Old Trafford with the venue also hosting international cricket between England and Pakistan, plus Lancashire Lightning will be defending our NatWest T20 Blast title.”
