Rihanna has started her 'Loud' Tour. The concept of which the show stage was built is a giant speaker cabinet indicating the name of the tour. The show starts with a blitzkrieg of video, as four hanging, shifting circular video screens joined four giant stationary ones that project Rihanna's arrival. She wore an electric blue mini-trenchcoat and pink stilleto boots with neon green heels and performed 'Only Girl (In the World)' the lead single from Loud. After finishing the song she revealed a day-glo bikini and continued singing with 'Disturbia' and 'Shut Up and Drive' from her 2007 album Good Girl Gone Bad. She continued with a standing performance of 'Man Down'.
Before showing an S&M inspired set she performed a cover Prince's 'Darling Nikki' during which Rihanna, dressed in a tuxedo and toting a cane, spanked, groped and pretended to smack three nearly nude female dancers. She transitioned into 'S&M' and she had stripped off her tuxedo and revealed a white bondage corset and she was wearing handcuffs. Then she performed 'Skin', a song from Loud, where on each concert she invited a fan on whom she gave a lap dance.
She gave an interlude to 'Raining Men' and continued to a military themed set, which started with 2009 'Hard'. The pink tank from Last Girl on Earth Tour was also present. 'Breakin' Dishes' was also performed with elements of 'The Glamorous Life'. At the end of the set she gave a medley of her collaborations 'Run This Town' and 'Live Your Life'.
After the set, she came back on stage with a yellow dress on a platform where she gave a solo of her hits 'Unfaithful', 'Hate That I Love You' and 'California King Bed'. She continued with a West Indian inspired performance of her hits 'What's My Name?' and 'Rude Boy'. After that Rihanna performed the party anthem 'Cheers (Drink to That)' and 'Don't Stop the Music' and finished the set with the R&B ballad 'Take a Bow'.
She finished the tour with an encore of her sequel hit with Eminem 'Love the Way You Lie (Part II)' and 'Umbrella'.
