When Is Eminem Touring?
Before going any further, it is necessary to point out that Eminem is one of the most acclaimed and selling artists in the world music industry. As a true star of rap, Eminem is an author of records selling more than 220 million copies, a 15-time Grammy Awards winner, and the owner of an Oscar for Best Original Song. The fact that he is a talented rapper, apart from being able to create tremendous lyrical content with a rather pensive view for the public in his songs, helped him to convey a message to people all over the globe. Hence, every time Eminem comes out to inform everyone that he will be performing a tour his large fan base is always anxious to get information about the event.
As of the writing of this article, there are no Eminem concerts planned. His last major tour on the road was in 2018 for the Revival Tour, promoting his album Revival. It began in Oslo, Norway, in June 2018 and was primarily in Europe. During the autumn of 2018, Eminem played 9 concerts across North America and finished the tour with a concert in Abu Dhabi as part of the Formula One Grand Prix. He has not toured since then.
The COVID-19 epidemic caused the cancellation of the live events for which Eminem was confirmed to be headlining many music festivals all across the globe in 2020. These comprised events at the Boston Calling Festival, Governor's Ball, Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, and Lollapalooza. Furthermore worth noting are several unofficial reports and presumptions among music business insiders about Eminem perhaps touring at some time close to the release date of a new album. Still, no formal Eminem tour schedule has yet been drawn up.
Right now, one only gets to watch Eminem perform by spotting him during a guest appearance or one-night stand. Usually, he will show up on TV shows or go to live events like music award ceremonies if he is pushing fresh tunes on an album or doing interviews throughout the campaign. For example, he sang "River" live with Ed Sheeran at the 2018 Grammy Awards to go with his freshly released Revival album. Therefore, he does perform periodically even if there is no Eminem tour right now. Following him on his official website and social media accounts will let fans attempt to get hold of him when such events are scheduled.
Now the question arises as to when the audience should anticipate a conventional Eminem stadium tour. Though he has not had a major performance run for over 10 years, his followers must be waiting for him eagerly. For example, Eminem himself has commented over the years how much he dislikes being away from his home city of Detroit when out on major world tours. Nonetheless, he presumably knows what an amazing live performer he is and how many people would like to see him on the stage.
Some of the news that has been circulating indicates that Eminem has been back in the studio recording his next album. It will be his first album since he released Kamikaze in 2018, which featured strong hits like "Fall,” “Lucky You,” and "Venom.”. It must also be said that if and when Eminem manages to complete an album, then a worldwide concert tour is not far behind. Big-name rappers such as Eminem schedule long tours whenever they are supporting an album to ensure they popularize their work fully.
However, like all other aspects of his career, Eminem will tour again when he wants to, both as an artist and as a person. Nobody will force a successful and famous rap star to perform on the stage before he is ready to do so. This in turn means fans still have to keep waiting and just watch Eminem concert videos on YouTube again. He’s such an amazing live performer that when he finally drops the news of his tour, people across the world will be excited.
Other possible considerations that could interact with when Eminem tours again include the state of the post-Covid world, Eminem’s focus on his car and family in Detroit, and finally the emergence of the next good idea. Eminem is very strategic when it comes to anything concerning his music career, including album releases as well as his touring schedule. He knows that what he wears matters and appears at strategic moments.
Lastly, it is unfortunate for the fans who are eager to see Eminem perform live; Eminem is not scheduled to perform anywhere soon. There is hope that a long-awaited potential new CD sometime in the next few years could change that. But his millions of fans have been patiently waiting for it since 2018 without any complaints. They understand that when their favorite rap icon informs everyone that he is back on stage, it is something they should look forward to. For now, thinking and reminiscing about those explosive past tours through pictures, videos, and thoughts will do. And let me assure you, his touring return will commence at the exact moment Eminem wants it to.
