Eminem to Headline Australia's 'Rapture' Tour with Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole

Eminem is headed Down Under and he’s bringing some friends with him. The Detroit rapper will headline Australia’s “Rapture” tour next year.

Slim Shady will perform alongside Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, 360, and David Dallas when the tour touches down in New Zealand and Australia in February.

The 4-date trek kicks off on Feb. 15 in Auckland before traveling to Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney.

“Rapture,” described as “a game-changing hip hop event,” has been curated by Eminem himself, who “handpicked the now, and the next” for the tour’s debut.

Tickets go on sale Oct. 31, with a pre-sale beginning on Oct. 24.

Prior to the tour, Eminem will release his eighth album The Marshall Mathers LP 2 on Nov. 5 featuring Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, and Skylar Grey.
