Following their Paul McCartney-featuring performance of "FourFiveSeconds" at the Grammys, rumors began circulating that Kanye West and Rihanna might tour together. Now, those rumors have been confirmed with the duo's first joint date.
As fan site KanyeToThe points out, ticketing giant Live Nation has confirmed the first date to be July 25 in the eastern European country of Estonia with tickets going on sale March 5. No other dates have been revealed, however.
This isn't the first time the two have gone on the road together. Rihanna opened up for West's Glow In The Dark Tour in 2008 following the release of her Good Girl Gone Bad album.
Beyond performing with the Barbadian singer, West is also executive producing her upcoming album, the follow up to 2012's Unapologetic. Meanwhile he is also at work on his own album, the follow-up to 2013's Yeezus. Both Ye and Rihanna's albums will reportedly feature the "FourFiveSeconds" collaboration.
"I played her my album," West told Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet during the Grammys pre-show telecast. "And I said, 'I got a few songs with Paul McCartney.' She couldn't get past the record. She had to have it on her album."
Rihanna's last tour was 2014's The Monster Tour, which she co-headlined with frequent collaborator Eminem. Meanwhile, West wrapped up his Yeezus Tour -- featuring opening performances by Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, A Tribe Called Quest, E-40, Busta Rhymes, Travi$ Scott and Drake -- in September of 2014.
For those hoping for news of North American dates, you'll just have to sit tight. As Radio.com notes, the July 25 date would likely fall during a European leg.
