ENTERTAINMENT NEWS: Eminem will become the first rapper to headline a show at Wembley Stadium when he performs at the venue on July 11th…

This will be the first time Eminem has performed in London since 2001. All UK dates since have been headline slots at festivals outside of the capital.

“I heard that I wasn’t going to be approved to play in Hyde Park and it made me even more excited to play in London this summer,” Eminem says, explaining how the Wembley show came about. “The easiest way to get me to do something is to tell me I can’t do it. Thanks to the Royal Parks for making it all possible….for Wembley.”

His recently released album The Marshall Mathers LP 2 broke records when it was released in the UK and debuted at #1. It became Eminem’s seventh number one album and made him the first American act to score seven consecutive UK number one albums.

Tickets for the Wembley Stadium show will go on sale on Friday 9th May at 9am.
