When Is Eminem Touring?
It is worth mentioning that Eminem is one of the most celebrated and commercially successful performers in world music history. With more than 220 million copies of his records sold worldwide, 15 Grammy Awards, and an Oscar for Best Original Song, Eminem has become a legend of rap music. His talent for producing introspective lyrics, besides his rapping prowess, has enabled him to reach out to people across the world. Therefore, when Eminem comes out to say that he will be staging a tour, his many fans are always eager to know the details of 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 live performances for which Eminem was confirmed to be headlining multiple music festivals around the world in 2020 were all canceled due to the COVID-19 outbreak. These included shows at the Boston Calling Festival, Governor’s Ball, Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival, and Lollapalooza. It is also worth mentioning that there are some loose rumors and assumptions from music industry insiders that Eminem might go on tour at some point near the time when a new album might be released. However, there are no official Eminem tour dates set up yet.
For now, the only way to see Eminem perform is to catch him at a guest appearance or a one-night stand. Most often, if he is promoting new tracks on an album or doing interviews during the campaign, he will appear on TV programs or attend live performances like music award ceremonies. For instance, he sang “River” alongside Ed Sheeran live during the 2018 Grammy Awards to complement his just-launched Revival album. Thus, once more, as there is no Eminem tour at the moment, he does perform occasionally. Fans can follow him on social media handles and his official website in an effort to try and get a hold of when such appearances are slated.
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 the successful and famous rap star to perform on the stage before he is ready to do so. Which 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.
