Rihanna to perform live in May

(EUR) – Rihanna is booked to perform in Dubai on May 28, which will mark her first concert appearance since the February 8 altercation with Chris Brown. A location, however, has yet to be announced.    The venue will likely be large and outdoors, says Mary Rachelle Cherpak, a spokeswoman for Dubai Tourism.  “Normally they create a special stage in the desert for these events.”

“There will be over 25,000 tickets available,” Cherpak adds. “They will be going on sale in the next couple of days.”

Rihanna had been scheduled to perform at the Grammys on February 8, but she cancelled just before the ceremony following the incident with Brown. Her last concert was January 29 in Los Angeles.
