Multi-platinum, Oscar and Grammy-winning rap superstar Eminem will descend upon UK soil this summer to join Muse and Kasabian in headlining major festival, Scotland’s ‘T In The Park’.
The hip-hop icon, accompanied by a live band, will give hundreds of thousands of fans a live dose of select tracks from his impressive catalogue, as he brings his stunning show to the main stage at ‘T In The Park'. The festival, which takes place between Friday 9th and Sunday 11th July at Balado near Kinross, will mark Eminem’s first European performance in five years and his first-ever appearance at the festival.
The rap star, who will be joined by his group D12 at the festival, spoke of his excitement of revisiting the UK. "I'm excited to get back to Europe to rock some shows, the crowds there are always big, crazy and dedicated…it's going to be great to feel that energy again." The announcement of the headline show will strengthen rumours that Eminem is to also headline the Saturday night of ‘Wireless’ festival, which takes place the weekend prior to ‘T In The Park’.
Last year saw the re-emergence of Eminem as one of hip-hop’s finest MC’s. He returned to the rap game with his album ‘Relapse’ which was the biggest selling hip-hop album of 2009. Since dropping the groundbreaking debut ‘The Slim Shady LP’ in 1999, the rapper has sold over 75 million albums worldwide and over 30 million in the United States alone. The biggest selling artist of the last 10 years.
