Eminem to be first rapper to headline Wembley Stadium - tickets

Eminem has announced details of a massive one-off gig at London's Wembley Stadium this July - making him the first rapper to headline the iconic venue. Full date and ticket details are below. 

After a day of rumours of Eminem being denied permission to perform at London's Hyde Park, Eminem took to Zane Lowe's BBC Radio One show to confirm the news and announce his huge Wembley gig - marking his first UK gig since headlining Reading and Leeds last year and his first London gig since 2011. Eminem is also the first ever rapper to headline Wembley Stadium. 

"I know Wembley Stadium's huge," he said, stating that he prefers one-off gigs to lengthy tours. "I'm not saying I'll never be ready for that again, but right now, this is what's working for me."

Speaking of his current live set up, Eminem added: "It's definitely better. It definitely brings a whole new element to it... There's a whole different energy. It's louder, it's more in your face, it's more explosive."
