Los Angeles, CA — Live entertainer and pop music superstar Rihanna confirms critically acclaimed lyricist J. Cole will join her and Grammy Award winner Cee Lo Green on the "Loud" North American tour. The tour begins on June 4th in Baltimore with 28 dates around the United States confirmed to date.

    "I'm excited to be heading out with Rihanna on the North American leg of her LOUD Tour. I have a high respect for both RiRi and Cee Lo, and I appreciate the opportunity to perform in front of an audience as large and diverse as theirs." said J. Cole.

    Following the North American leg, Rihanna will take her show internationally for 56 shows, beginning September 29th in Europe, with sell outs in nearly every market.

    With over 760,000 tickets purchased around the globe, ticket sales for the 2011 "Loud" tour have already surpassed total ticket sales for Rihanna's 2010 global tour, "Last Girl on Earth", which drew nearly 500,000 fans.

    Since her debut in 2005, Rihanna has sold a collective 26 million albums and 46 million digital singles.

    Rihanna's current smash single, "S&M" has sold more than 1.2 million digital copies from her hit album LOUD which has given fans a string of #1 hit songs including, "Only Girl" and "What's My Name."

    Cole released his first mixtape in 2007 which led to his signing with Roc Nation. Since then, Cole has had a successful tour with Drake, an appearance on JAY-Z's "A Star Is Born" (Blueprint 3), as well as, the covers of the Source, XXL and inclusion in BET's "Rising Icons" series. Cole's highly anticipated studio album is scheduled to be released later this year. 
    Cee Lo Green is enjoying phenomenal success from his current smash single "Forget You" from his acclaimed third solo release, "Cee Lo Green The Lady Killer". The song became a viral video phenomenon prior to winning a Grammy for "Best Urban/Alternative Performance," at this year's 53rd Annual Grammy Awards ceremony. Green began his career as part of the Atlanta hip hop group Goodie Mob prior to breaking out on his own. 

    Tickets for the Live Nation produced tour are available at Ticketmaster.com and Live Nation.com.
