Following an unfortunate leak yesterday, Eminem (real name Marshall Bruce Mathers III) has announced a 2019 Australian tour in support of his latest album, Kamikaze.
The rapper, who last toured Australia in 2014, is now set to perform in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and (for the very first time) Perth in February 2019, as part of the second instalment of his Rapture 2019 stadium tour.
Eminem will hit Brisbane’s QSAC on Wednesday, 20th February, before hitting Sydney’s ANZ Stadium on Friday, 22nd February, Melbourne’s MCG on Sunday, 24th February and Perth’s Optus Stadium on Wednesday, 27th February.
View all of the tour dates and ticketing details, below.
The tour was inadvertently announced last night, when News Corp Australia momentarily published details about the impending tour, including the fact that it doesn’t include a stop in Adelaide.
Kamikaze was released without almost any warning back in August this year, as the follow-up to Mathers’ 2017 album Revival.
The new album features contributions from the likes of Royce Da 5’9”, Joyner Lucas and Jessie Reyez, and even samples an Australian artist on the track ‘Good Guy’.
Kamikaze was executive produced by Dr. Dre and features additional writing contributions from the likes of Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon (‘Fall’) and Little Dragon (‘Normal’). The track ‘Greatest’ also interpolates Kendrick Lamar’s ‘HUMBLE.’.
