Beside Act1 the setlist isn't ratchet  and she already performed most of those "ratchet" song in the UK and the crowd went wild and Pour It Up is getting released in the UK.

I think she'll leave out BC and Cockiness for the Europe leg and rearrange the setlist. I love the urban songs but they shouldn't be the opening act

She performed BC&Cockiness in Europe already, why would she remove them this time around?
and I think it's perfect leaving the big dance/pop song for the end

Thts just me hoping, they're not good performance songs. I do think she'll rearrange the acts at the very least and add Right Now to the mix

First and foremost: Rihanna is a pop star. And a pretty great one at that.
Early into the eventual show she did offer a vacant “sorry” — one befitting in sentiment the album she’s currently touring, Unapologetic — but with no attempt at an explanation, and yet that was supposed to be enough to placate the room.
It was, as the roars would suggest. But it shouldn’t have been.
She should have been made to earn it from the second she took the stage, not just by finally taking the stage. Instead, the first act, those first 30 minutes or so were the musical equivalent of a cold shoulder, with the audience being asked to do all of the heavy lifting and find something to bring them inside the edifice.
Fair enough, theatrical shows like those from her and, say, Katy Perry, Madonna and Lady Gaga, are a different beast than most actual rock concerts, with the focus on the lights, big screens, costume changes and choreography, and half of the songs pre-recorded and almost secondary to the spectacle of it all. And true to that, much of the show was performed with the dancers outnumbering the musicians more than two to one, the gyrating and crotch-grabs being as much a filler as the canned instrumentation and backup vocals accompanying the real thing.
That was especially true during that first act, with hits such as Phresh Out the Runway, Birthday Cake and Cockiness almost difficult to differentiate from the radio hits piped in during that hour-and-a-half wait.
But then, slowly, gradually, professionally, Rihanna made it hard to hold onto the unnecessary sideshow of her own creation, and became the main act she should have been from the start.
Her second costume, her second collection of songs brought the thaw. With the dancers, for the most part, given a breather and sent offstage, she was allowed her to showcase her natural almost ungodly charisma and a voice that is as heavenly as it is hellsent.
She put both into overdrive as she charged through some of her Caribbean-flavoured hits, including You Da One, Man Down and Rude Boy, along with What’s My Name, gaining incredible momentum with every one, those pipes getting more polished and powerful as the evening went on.
And from that point, damn her, she made it easy to forget (although not entirely forgive), and finally get sucked into that spectacle and even those overblown, overproduced radio anthems, such as Rockstar 101, Where Have You Been, and, probably the evening’s highlight, the full-on disco number treatment afforded We Found Love.
It was big, bright and bombastic. But she was somehow bigger, brighter and more bombastic. And deserving all of the attention for all of the right reasons, especially that main reason. Rihanna is a pop star. A pretty great one at that.
