Rihanna’s set was full of energy and interaction with fans. Starting with energetic hit ‘Only Girl (In the World)’ and ending with timeless record ‘Umbrella’, Rihanna delivered a performance to remember. The visuals, the energy and the vocals brought Rihanna positive reviews from not only fans but also critics around the world. If the crowd singing along with her during ‘California King Bed’, ‘Love the Way You Lie part II’, and ‘Umbrella” do not give you chills, I do not know what will. 

Brazil and Rock in Rio love Rihanna so much she was invited to headline the festival again. She is performing in City of Rock, Rio de Janeiro on September 26! Make sure to visit our site for photos and videos from her performance. For now, relive her magnificent performance from 2011.
