Eminem and Rihanna have announced their three-city The Monster Tour, slated to kick off in August.
Eminem and Rihanna, who collaborated on 2013’s “The Monster,” a cut off Em’s The Marshall Mathers LP 2, plan on stopping in three cities for this tour, New York, Los Angeles and Detroit.
“There are some shows coming up with Rihanna,” Eminem said in an interview XXL. “It’s a three-city tour: New York, L.A. and Detroit coming in August. The Monster Tour.”
Rihanna spoke about working with Eminem during a January 2013 interview with Complex.
“The moment I worked with him on ‘Love the Way You Lie,’ I wanted to work with him again, and we did ‘Love the Way You Lie Part 2,'” Rihanna said at the time. “And then I wanted to work with him again. I just love working with Eminem. He’s just one of my favorite rappers, and his lyrics—he’s a true poet, and I enjoy that about him. For this song, I needed someone with not only his skill, but his personality. And I needed someone who really understands the perspective and the metaphor in the song of going numb and being numb to everything around and to say, ‘Fuck you.’ Eminem is definitely the perfect guy for that.”

UPDATE: Eminem and Rihanna have revealed the tour dates for their upcoming The Monster Tour.
“This August, Eminem and Rihanna will be co-headlining a series of stadium shows for The Monster Tour,” Eminem’s website says. “The tour will kick off in Los Angeles on Thursday, August 7 at the Rose Bowl with shows then lined up in New York City’s Metlife Stadium on Saturday, August 16 and Detroit’s Comerica Park on Friday, August 22.”
On March 20, American Express card members are set to have the opportunity to buy presale tickets. On March 22, Facebook fans who follow Eminem are scheduled to have early access to purchase tickets to the tour. On March 27, Live Nation app users are slated to have access to presale tickets, and on March 28, tickets for all three concerts are set to go on sale at livenation.com and the Live Nation app.

Forget Rihanna, tour with Kendrick.. this time in the United States.
they trying to fill arenas hear dog
he could fill areans with kendrick jackass
kanye tried that and they had problems selling tickets.
And you think I’m crazy, yeah you think i’m crazy
Them pills really fucked up Eminem’s mind frame he gives up tens of millions every year cause he cant deal with the touring thing cause his whole career on stage he was on something
3 shows? FOH
Another L for 50.
50 headlines his own tours
Jay Z said it best on Letterman Eminem is a notorious non tourer
He has struggled with addiction and constant touring is the last thing drug addicts need to be tour, early on in his career he was doing two shows a day.
r they fuckin or sumthin? they always together smdh
A few years ago I went to the Jay-z/eminem concert at comerica, more than half the people in my section did not even know Jay-z’s songs. It was a decent show though, at the same time I’m not interested in seeing Rihanna. Can’t he go on tour with some hip hop acts
He just did a tour here in Australia with Kendrick, J.Cole & Action Bronson.
That was not a tour though!!!
Smart move on both sides, methinks…

I can’t even with that picture.
Remember when Eminem straight BLASTED pop stars like Britney Spears, N*Sync and other talentless hacks? And when he dissed Benzino for being a 40-year old rapper?
Eminem is 41. And touring with Rihanna. Full circle FAIL.
There’s a reason everything since ‘The Eminem Show’ has sucked donkey ballz. Call it “hating” all day, I call it having standards and consistency. This man has become everything he once hated, and it started with 8 Mile and the Elton John duet.
#dealwithitfanboys
em is a 40 year old rapper with fans, no one was checking for benzino when he was 40 and they damn sure aint checking for him now thats hes 50 but em could easily rap into his 60’s
His early stuff was better in my opinion too but you too stuck on that shit. People like you that won’t allow artists to evolve are the reason hip hop is weak. Wanting this man to act the same way he did 15 years ago and not grow into a mature emcee. Smh as if you didn’t say some shit 15 years ago in your life that totally contradicts something you’re doing today. When I was 9 (15 years ago) I’m pretty sure I thought I’d be a baseball player and now I hate baseball and don’t play it.
4 real, people change
I went to the Jay-z and Eminem home and home in Detroit 4 years ago but won’t be checking for this at all. Eminem should have retired after Recovery, he has not been the same since half way into encore, his change and growth are not because of a mature sound it’s more like Alzheimer’s. It’s like watching Jordan come back the 3rd time around
Jigga should have either stayed retired or retired after BP3, both artists don’t make good music as old timers. Eminem is controversy, teenage angst, and battle rap but now he is too PC to stir the pot and makes pop, Jigga is ballin, hustling, and being flashy but it does not sound the same. only old artists I want to hear are people like Nas,Common,Mos Def because they touch on different issues and the music they make does not get dated as quick
15 years! and since it started with elton, he prooved he picks and chooses his pop stars like dido. em aint stoopid, he will never work with bieber or a kesha cus hes doing so for his fans 15 years so much in his life has changed, yet these sour fanboys cant deal with one rihanna song on an otherwise all pure rap album SMH Hes changed, ur stuck in the past
3 dates qualifies as a Tour Now???Rihanna blows…Em is only tourin with her her so he can fuck her a few times on the Road
They gonna make some serious quap in those 3 days. Be sure to checkout thegrandreport, they have some good hip hop and viral videos on there
hope u meant make some serious guap
thats exactly what he said no?
nevermind i see thats a q and not a g
p
Don’t even call it a “tour” if it’s three-city only.

So… Where’s the dates??
they always do this shit on here, announce and tour and leave off the most important part, the friggin dates
Ha this is the perfect tour for couples. Pretty cool cuz I know my girlfriend will want to go to this. Of course, she would go if it was just Eminem but Rihanna just seals the deal.
OMG OMG I CANT WAIT – every 15 year old girl and boy in america.
do little boys listen to Eminem? I know they did 15 years ago when I was in high school but still?
HiphopDX is as useful as a one legged retard
EMINEM JUST LOST ME WHEN HE COLLABORATED WITH RIHANNA. I JUST TURNED OFF MY RADAR FROM HIS MUSIC. HE IS STILL A DOPE RAPPER BUT MY EMINEM ALBUM STOPPED AT RELAPSE.
Dope…the tour is probably gonna make alotta money, given the artist showcasing it….wish there were more concerts, but its all good tho…#Shady #RocNation #Dopeness

fuckin sick of this nigga doing 2-3 stadium concert a year, and a couple festival. Why not go on tour???
1. he a recovering drug addict the pressure of tour could cause a relapse
2.He makes more from 1 show than rappers doing 300 shows a year earn
3 is the amount of cocks ur moms takes every morning b4 she rolls her fat ass out of bed to collect her welfare card n block of government cheese
I wouldn’t be surprised if Eminem put out a duets album with Britney Spears at this point. I think getting sober fucked with his better judgment worse than when he got fucked up.
relapse was dope as fuck if he hadn’t used the weird accent thing people would of appreciated it more.Bad meets evil was good but recovery slaughterhouse album n yelawolf album were so fuckin pop n horrible it made me decide to never buy a shady album again what the fuck happened
Wait 5-10 years and you will appreciate MMLP2. So was the Relapse, everyone hated in 2009 and now is said to be deep and dope like SSLP and MMLP. Thanks to people like you, Eminem will retire soon. Thanks bastards for your supporting.
who cares if he retires now he raps like a angry screaming crackhead now its not even nice to listen to his flow is fuckin horrible.Fuckin rappity rap squeeze as many words in as I can even tho none of it makes sense bars
Just wait couple of years and everyone (80%-90% people) will love MMLP2
If I need to listen to MMLP2 in 5 years to try and find some hidden meaning or substance from it. That I guess flew over my head during the first few listens then I should park my car in an abando garage by Van Dyke and Harper and let the car run with garage shut while I listen to the album.
those arent sentences dumbass
Knew the haters would surface, the only pop smash on the album too smh, dont matter still winning, just went double plat, dont need these so called real hip hop hipsters nohow(cant even see lyrical integrity) bunch of simps on dx
The old it just went double plat to solidify an argument about Hip Hop….Please kill yourself
hah, look at all the simp haters on hhpdx! all their comments are gone! buncha losers
Eminem and Rihanna should make a an album full of monsters… Immaculate Incendio!
Love them both equally!!!
METLIFE STADIUM IS IN NEW JERSEY GOOGLE IT Andres Retardio
Where were all these pop songs on Recovery? I always read people say that. Only the Rihanna song was popish and that had the some of the hardest lyrics of any pop song I’ve ever heard. People are dumb.
Oh, and Relapse was dope as fuck if you appreciate straight crazy rapping/lyricism.
Then again, most of the people that comment on this site are probably in high school.
Thank you
You’re welcome.
Eminem is now pop star sorry to tell ya
He’s had like 5 poppy songs in his career out of like 100.
YAWNNN so SICK of people sayin he fell off because of a few pop hooks. Listen to the whole relapse album, and tracks like seduction, cold wind blows, almost famous, untitled, my darling, buffalo bill, music box, baby, evil twin, brainless, bad guy, welcome 2 hell, fast lane, above the law, echo, living proof, groundhog day, rap god, forever, etc etc… Why the fuck does he still go multi platinum and gets praise from most of the best cats in the game constantly? You dont hear these other legendary rappers saying he sucks or “pop” noone would fuckin dare lol sorry haters
You mad bro?? Lol
Dude is right though. Em has had ONE not so great album and that was Encore. Every other one has been a complete success in every possible way.
Like MD said, go listen to Relapse. But, if you really don’t want the “pop” [which just because you make a song with a pop artist doesn’t make it a “pop” song SMH LOL] go listen to SSLP or MMLP.
Like Jay said, you want my old shit, buy my old albums. Idiots.
These Stans can’t see the trees in the forest. Why do I even read comments from these losers. He is now a pop star doing a concert with another pop star. Stop lying to yourself. It doesn’t make him wack and he damn sure isn’t the GOAT.
Please explain how he is a pop star.
look at this popstar. He needs rihanna pink bruno mars and all these other popstars to make hits that people listen to. The List of pop songs on recovery
love the way you lie ft rihanna
wont back down ft pink
not afriad
cinderlla man
and many more pop songs. Unlike eminem drake makes pure hiphop and his latest album didnt have any popstar features.
LOL that’s because drake doesn’t need a pop star to be pop, he IS a pop star himself.
Drake making pure hip-hop? HA!! Hold On We’re Going Home is more pop than anything Eminem has ever done. And Drake also works with pop stars.
The only song you listed that is “popish” is the Rihanna song. “Won’t Back Down” is not a pop song just because a pop artist is on it. Ignorance at it’s finest. And “Not Afraid” a pop song?!? LOL OK buddy…that shit goes hard as fuck.
Theres gonna be a cloud of Axe body spray covering the stadium at each concert.
Both these cornball fucks need to do more drugs.
When Em takes a shit Rouce steps right up to wipe it…
When’s LAUGHTERHOUSE dropping again?
Devil and half God
Remember when Eminem was dissing: Britney spears, nsynch and christina aguelera? Now this commercial faggot is doing a tour and songs with Rihanna. Is this keeping it real?
Rappers are the most contradicting artists in the world with no respect for there music or fans.
It’s called changing. People change. Why dont hate Jay-Z or Kanye West for collaboration with Rihanna? Oh yes they can but Em cant since he is white
Lol who said anything about race. Come on now
Pop rap is right. Eminem’s message is inconsistent thus it means nothing. Jay-z never dissed Nsync or britney spears. Jigga was making songs with Mary J and Mariah carey a long time ago. Eminem needs to retire and quit ruining his legacy. Same goes for Jigga at this point. Eminem never collaborated with pop trash and garbage really until after relapse didn’t have any radio hits. He does not make good music anymore, yes he can still rap but the music is trash now
It’s Because Ri Ri a bubble gum pop artist.
Dont forget the song with faggot Elton John and Dildo.
I went to Jay-z and Eminem one a few years ago at comerica park and they brought out lots of other rappers but a concert with RiRi? I guess it will take away from the people in my section that seemed like they didn’t know the lyrics to any jigga songs
Why comment on an Eminem article if you don’t like Eminem? I don’t go on Rick Ross or Wayne article just to tell people how much I find them to be horrible at rapping.
Exciting concert by this pop star…and nice to see Rihanna there too LMAO
Lame
Eminem fell off and has no integrity as far as Hip Hop goes anymore. But hey he’s making a lot of money right?????
Eminem used to diss: britney spears, nsynch, homo’s and other pop artists now Eminem is doing songs with Rihanna, Pink, Skylar Grey and a faggot like Lil Wayne, T.I. and Elton John.
Lol cause he’s grown up a bit to realize who is actually talented…
Skillz or not Eminem is now a commervcial faggot! Just like MC hammmer and Vanilla Ice but atleast they didnt pretend to be hardcore or gangsta. They were always commercial.
You obviously haven’t heard Hammer and Ice’s songs where they talked about being gangsters.
how some of yall going to say this is crazy him doing a tour with her and nobody got a problem with jay and b doing a tour together this is smart cause she is a pop artist that appeals to many and so does em he appeals to white and black so this is very smart and they both will make alot of money from this because we all no nobody make money off record sales any more except if your pop or appeal to white audience
I’d cum on Rihanna’s forehead
Does anybody notice the chain eminem is wearing? The circle with the triangle in it represents the illuminati and actually in ancient times represents Satan………….
actually….its not….i would know i EARNED 1, its an AA necklace silly, the 1 you speak of is either the all seeing eye or the pentagram…what Eminem is wearing represent neither illuminati or satan….try sobriety
Eminem is a white fag.
Why are you in the house boy, get back out in the field and pick my cotton
For all of you that are saying Eminem is a pop star, you’re completely incorrect. Eminem has done, and I count, three pop songs in his career out of at least 150. Therefore, he hasn’t become a pop star at all.
does anyone know when to start lining up for general admition tickets, its suppose to rain so it it rain or shine?
And i love seeing EM rocking the AA neckless! I’ve been sober for 5 years and he was a huge help when im not afraid came out. still gives me goosebumps
COME TO IRELAND !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IRELAND IRELAND IRELAND !!!!!!!!!!! IN MARLEY PARK
