After a week of rumours, speculation and social network hype from promoters it has finally been announced that Eminem will tour Australia in December 2011 for the first time in ten years.
Promoter Paul Dainty will bring Eminem out for two stadium shows, one at Melbourne’s Etihad Stadium on December 1st and the Sydney Football Stadium on December 2nd.
Update (02/11/2011): Second Sydney Show Announced – No Brisbane Show
Update (21/10/2011): Dainty have delayed Brisbane confirmation, we should hear news in the next few days.
Update: Brisbane show has been added!
The announcement comes after Big Day Out 2012 promoters failed to meet the price Eminem demanded and instead his management has decided to play their own stadium shows instead.
Tickets will be priced at around $150 and support acts will be Lilwayne and local lads, Hilltop Hoods.
Tickets go on sale 2pm Sep 13 from ticketek.com.au.
