Rihanna is late closer for Polish festival

Written by . Published: January 26 2013

Rihanna is to play a free concert for revellers at a festival in Poland a day after the event ends.


The Umbrella hitmaker will take to the stage 24 hours after the Open'er Festival in Gdynia officially finishes to perform a bonus set. Fans with a ticket to the four-day event will be permitted to return to the site to watch Rihanna's gig for free.


The Open'er Festival at Gdynia-Kosakowo airfield runs from 3-6 July (13) and will feature headline sets from Blur, Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys, and Queens of the Stone Age.


Rihanna will perform at the venue on 7 July (13) as a nod to her recent seventh album Unapologetic, which she promoted with her 777 Tour, playing seven shows in seven countries over seven days.


A spokesman for the event says, "Rihanna - yes, Rihanna! - will perform in Poland on 7.7.2013! The artist will give a special performance in Gdynia, the day after Open'er Festival, and the great news is you get to go to that show too if you have a full 4-day festival ticket."
