The Loud Tour was the fourth overall and third world concert tour by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna. Performing in over twenty countries in the Americas and Europe, the tour was launched in support of Rihanna's fifth studio album Loud (2010).

The Loud Tour was a large commercial success, experiencing demand for an extension of shows in the United Kingdom due to popularity.[2] In London, Rihanna played a record-breaking 10 dates at The O2 Arena.[3] The tour ultimately grossed an estimated value of US$90 million from 98 reported shows and a total audience of 1,200,800.[4] The Loud Tour became the seventh-highest-grossing tour of 2011.[4]
