Okay, so I love the ANTi World Tour, Rihanna's newest and best (my opinion) world tour. However, I have a few changed for the setlist, which I will post below, and we can discuss what we would all like to change and make a final wishlist, if the setlist was ever to change.

Original Setlist:

B-Stage:

Stay
Love the Way You Lie, Pt. 2

Main Stage


Woo
Sex With Me
Birthday Cake (Remix) 
Pour It Up
Numb (Remix)
Bitch Better Have My Money 
Pose *selected dates*
Goodnight Gotham (Interlude)
Consideration
Medley (Live Your Life, Run This Town, All of the Lights)
Umbrella
Desperado
Man Down
Rude Boy
Work
Take Care
We Found Love (How Deep Is Your Love)
Where Have You Been
Talk That Talk (Interlude)
Needed Me
Same Ol' Mistakes
Diamonds
FourFive Second
Love on the Brain
Kiss it Better

 

My Revisions:

------------------------------------------------------------

Introduction (Goodnight Gotham)
Woo
Sex With Me
Birthday Cake (Remix) (Cockiness)
Pose
Numb (Remix) / Pour It Up
Bitch Better Have My Money 

This is the first section of the show. The show would begin with a giant version of the ANTi gold crown (refer to album cover) and a circle platform center stage. Rih would rise onto the stage inside the crown, and the giant bridge would lower from the ceiling and Rih would get on it and perform Woo like she does in the normal tour, just like Sex With Me. Apart from at the end of SWM, instead of getting off of the bridge on the main stage, she gets off at the b-stage and does the regular Birthday Cake performance, just on the b-stage. The Cockiness element is just occasional 'I love it, love it, love it when you eat' as well as 'yoooooou's. Pose would be performed on the b-stage also like it would be on the main stage, and would be there for every show (the b-stage would be double the size it is as of now, it should be noted). At the end of Pose, Rihanna would get on the bridge and do the Numb choreography that was new for the tour with the backing dancers, but on the bridge mid-air. Rihanna would then go back to the main stage and perform Pour It Up with dancers behind her, like the DWT. BBHMM would be performed as in the tour, but with clips of the video in the background and dollar bill confetti like from the video. Rihanna would exit the stage via the steps in between the band podiums, and her dancers would follow (her dancers would wear the outfit with cloaks over the shoulders, to create a dramatic and mystical effect during the exiting from the stage). 

Interlude (Hard / Wait Your Turn)
Consideration
Medley (Live Your Life, Run This Town, All of the Lights)
Umbrella
Desperado

The next section of the show would begin with an interlude featuring elements and excerpts from her Rated R tracks Hard and Wait Your Turn, plus slight elements of Mad House. The interlude would be dark and looming with just pure darkness and an ominous keyboard ring. An odd flash of lightning would appear and the odd snippet to pair. 'Where dey at, where dey at, where dey at?' 'So hard, so hard, so hard, so hard.' 'The wait is ova, the wait is ova.' 'Yea, yea, yea.' The interlude would come to a gradual end as a blinding white light appears for no more than 3 seconds, when it disappears and the lights are neutral and visible enough for everyone to see the stage, Rihanna is stood with her back to the audience, and all you can see is her outline and a nude-colored cape. Consideration begins and is performed like at the Brits, except a hologram version of SZA appears during the chorus, in which Rih interacts with. The feature medley is fun and simple, and would be performed identical to the actual tour versions, just as Umbrella, except the song would be performed in full as opposed to drastically shortened into bare nothingness. The act would end with a rock-y, powerful ballad Desperado, with raspy vocals in the verses with little backup (though some needed) and powerful runs and choruses towards the end. The act ends with a powerful guitar solo and Rihanna runs off of the stage.

Interlude (Man Down Remix / What's My Name)
Man Down
Rude Boy
Work
S&M / Rockstar 101

This section would begin with the Man Down remix interlude from the tour with added 'oh na na's from WMN. The the regular versions of Man Down, Rude Boy and Work would happen and a fun dance-pop remix of S&M and Rockstar 101 ends the act, this section was the simplest and easily the best executed due to it's sheer simplicity.

Interlude (You da One / Don't Stop the Music)
Take Care (Te Amo)
We Found Love (How Deep Is Your Love)
Where Have You Been

This interlude features distorted snippets from You da One and Don't Stop the Music. Rihanna emerges in the same outfit as last and performs a disco version of Take Care, with a twinge of the Te Amo tune mixed in. A vogue-breakdown takes place and Rihanna then performs a mix of We Found Love and How Deep Is Your Love, like the tour. WHYB was performed the same as the tour too. Rih leaves the stage via a lift in the far right corner of the stage.

Interlude (James Joint)
Russian Roulette
Cold Case Love / Take a Bow
Stay
Unfaithful
Love the Way You Lie, Pt. 2

This section begins with James Joint playing along with a video of Rih smoking while riding in a topless car, relaxing and enjoying life. The song ends and Rihanna enters the stage on square platform, with a barrier around three of the four sides. It begins to lift and Rihanna sings Russian Roulette while wearing a black, long sleeve dress that is sleek and flawless. Once Rihanna, once again reaches the b-stage, she rips off the skirt part of the dress and she is now wearing a black bodysuit (full body) with long sleeves and a turtleneck-type neck. A medley of Cold Case Love and Take A Bow follows, along with a singalong version of Stay. Unfaithful would be performed as Rihanna leaves the b-stage and she is escorted through the audience to the main stage, greeting them as she goes. Depending on how long she takes (depends on the show - stadiums it's a longer walk, arenas shorter), LTWYL, Pt. 2 will begin and she will sing some of the song while walking. She sings the song while sat on the edge of the stage for the rest of the song, before walking off of the stage as the lights come down.


Talk That Talk (Interlude)
Same Ol' Mistakes
Needed Me
Diamonds
FourFive Seconds
Never Ending
Love on the Brain

This act begins with an interlude taking heavy elements from Talk That Talk, but is quite distorted, funky and mysterious. Once the interlude is over, Rihanna rises up via a lift and stands on a slightly elevated platform (refer to white box Rih stands on during Bday Cake on current tour). She wears brown smart trousers, and corset and an oversized brown jacket as well as hippie sunglasses. Same Ol' Mistakes is performed in full, with Rih serving vocals and doing the song justice, perhaps becoming the highlight of the night, or one of, at least. Needed Me is performed simply with a background video that is interesting. Diamonds is a highlight, performed with stellar vocals and audience participation. Rihanna then thanks her band, dancers and overall crew, telling the crowd how many people help to make the show possible. After more unscripted stage banter, 45 Seconds would begin and performed stripped down and flawlessly. Never Ending is performed just at the mic stand with video clips of her previous tour endeavours in the background. The last song of this set, Love on the Brain is performed perfectly with Rih stood at the mic stand, with foam oozing out onto the stage and covering it. Rihanna then leaves the stage via the stage stairs and the lights go down.


Interlude (Higher)
Kiss it Better
Outro (Close to You)

An interlude here is just Higher playing with clips of Rihanna crying with a cigarette in her hand, or her hugging a male interest. The interlude is simple and perfect because of that. Rihanna enters the stage by appearing from the ceiling of the arena in a white box platform with a mic  stand and confetti raining. The platform reaches the stage floor and Rihanna dances around with the band having a great time. Towards the end of the song, all of her dancers come on the stage and they dance together celebrating the show. Once the song ends, and instrumental reprise begins and she thanks the audience, as the song ends and Rihanna leaves the stage via the lift she did at the beginning of the show. The credits from the show would appear on the screen as the instrumental version of Close to You plays. 

 

 

This is my idea. What do you think and what do you want?

I went to the tour last weekend and i totally agree that it needs to be changed. There needs to be Only Girl, S&M or What's My Name in it. Pon De replay or SOS. and Disturbia or something else from GGGB. There were too many unpopular songs in the setlist. Even though i knew the songs, it was kinda disappointing.

You had some good additions, Take A Bow was a good one. 

I just want songs like Numb, Birthday Cake, and some ANTI songs taken out in exchange for her other hits

Numb becomes a minor part in this show, I never understood why it was there in the first place? B'day Cake is short anyway, I think it is a good bridge between the opening part to the hip-hop part. ANTi is necessary to be there. Concerts can last up to about 120-150 mins, so this should would be longer to allow for longer and more songs.
