Detroit rapper Eminem is set to headline three major festivals this summer overseas.
With his first European concert in over five years, Eminem will first be performing at Scotland’s “T In The Park” Festival. He then will take the stage at Switzerland’s “Openair Frauenfeld,” which is expected to draw over 40,000 attendees. Finally, he will perform at Dublin, Ireland’s “Oxegen” Festival. Jay-Z is also expected to perform at all three events as well.
“I’m excited to get back to Europe to rock some shows. The crowds there are always big, crazy and dedicated…it’s going to be great to feel that energy again,” Em said in a statement.
Tour dates are listed below, as well as ticket sales dates.
7/9-7-11 Balado Kinross-Shire, Scotland T in the Park (Ticket sales: Feb. 26)

In other news, southern producer Mannie Fresh has recently signed New Orleans group SoulFresh.
Nardo and Knoxx, who make up SoleFresh, will be releasing their debut album Peace, Love & Overweight Babies this summer, which is executively produced by Mannie Fresh. Their first single off the album, “I Don’t Want To Grow Up,” will be hitting airwaves early next month.
Peace, Love & Overweight Babies will be released through Chubby Boy Music/Eyecon Music Group.
Finally, after a suspicious fire severely damaged the Philadelphia International Records (PIR) offices over the weekend, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame owners Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff plan to rebuild it back to its original state.
Known as the “Sound of Philadelphia” offices, PIR was home to dozens of hit singles and albums created by legendary artists such as Michael Jackson, Lou Rawls and Teddy Pendergrass. In recent years, PIR was celebrated as a local iconic tourist destination for Philadelphians to visit.
“The No. 1 thing that went through our minds as we walked through the facility is that thankfully, no one was hurt. After all the years our building has been there, we’ve never had any problems that come close to this. The devastation is just horrible. It’s unbelievable,” they stated.
Gamble and Huff will continue their pursuit of the culprit behind the fire.
