Rihanna Closes Radio 1′s Hackney Weekend Festival

Rihanna

Rihanna has closed BBC Radio 1′s Hackney Weekend, a free two-day festival in east London.

She opened her headline set with ‘Only Girl In The World’, performing in front of a giant sphinx.

“Hackney, you’re crazier than they told me!” the 24-year-old shouted, as up to 50,000 fans watched.

Her mentor Jay-Z took to the stage for a run of three songs. The pair had also performed together during Jay-Z’s set on Saturday night.

After her third track, ‘S&M’, Rihanna ran into the audience to ask for help re-attaching the battery pack for her microphone, which had become loose during a high-energy dance routine.

She closed the set an hour later with ‘We Found Love’, her global number one hit from last year.

“You guys are making this such a memorable show for me,” she said before she left the stage.
