At the NFL Super Bowl LVI in Los Angles last year, global rap superstar Eminem joined Dr.Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J Blige, 50 Cent and Kendrick Lamar to deliver one of the most memorable halftime shows in recent history.
Eminem’s performance however was the real showstopper. Joining the show late on the second verse of ‘Forgot About Dre’, Eminem would then drop a memorable performance of his 8 Mile classic ‘Lose Yourself’ that sent the stadium into a frenzy.
This was the first-time hip hop had been the musical choice for the Super Bowl Half Time show and what a choice it proved to be, with fans the world over relishing the performance.
On the back of this electric performance, the rumour mill began to churn with reports of an impending Eminem tour. An expectant UK fanbase has already been waiting since 2018 for the return of ‘Slim Shady’ to these shores and after five years, any announcement would certainly send the internet into meltdown.
Known by his real name Marshall Mathers III, Eminem is the best selling hip hop artist of all time. The Detroit native has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, has won every accolade under the sun including Oscar, Grammy, and BRIT Awards.
With a back catalogue of international hits that include tracks like Love the Way You Lie, Without Me and Stan, Eminem is not only the biggest name in hip hop, he’s a global powerhouse with fans all over the world that will be clamouring for tickets when any tour dates are released.
Hot of the press news is that the iconic rapper is already in talks to headline the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury Festival in 2023 and if that date is confirmed, more UK dates could well follow. With a monster stadium tour a distinct possibility, watch this space for more updates on any Eminem UK concerts.
