Eminem & Rihanna “The Monster Tour” Dates, Set List

    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.”

    1. 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

      1. 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.

    2. 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

    3. Eminem is a fucking fraud! In 2000 he was dissing Britney Spears, Nsynch and Christina Aguilera because they were pop and now this faggot who also did a song with faggot Elton John is touring with Rihanna. Rappers are the fakest people in the world. Fortunetaly we have A REAL RAPPER like Gucci Mane

      1. how many fake ass rappers has gucci done songs with? he gets on records with a correctional officer despite spending most of his career locked up

    4. when sade kiss life song came out i was 15 wu tangs first album ice cube leathel injection album.red man wut the album came year before those 2 albums

    5. and 97 98 99. big pun wu tang. jay z start being more notice, nas .50 cent how to rob was under ground back packer song, camron what makes world to you song.red man meth rocwilder song

    6. marc screemed mad at alex cause alex wanted a cheap parking place at club abyess 2007.while some dudes tryed park car. got mad case he wante to pay less

    7. red meth show meth meets lady takes walk with her in woods her younger daughter made friend with white boy lil nabors son

    8. mike at lids, mike who mike myers as said.where left eye shes around she faked it shes around wheres jay z beyonce . where left eye

    9. 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

      1. 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

      2. 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.

      3. 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

      4. 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

      5. 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

    10. 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

    11. 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

    12. Start working from home! Great job for students, stay-at-home moms or anyone needing an extra income… You only need a computer and a reliable internet connection… Make $90 hourly and up to $12000 a month by following link at the bottom and signing up… You can have your first check by the end of this week…….http://x.co/3wOy8

    13. 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.

    14. 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.

    15. 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

    16. fuckin sick of this nigga doing 2-3 stadium concert a year, and a couple festival. Why not go on tour???

      1. 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

    17. 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.

      1. 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

      2. 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.

      3. 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

      4. Just wait couple of years and everyone (80%-90% people) will love MMLP2

      5. 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.

    18. 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

    19. Eminem and Rihanna should make a an album full of monsters… Immaculate Incendio!
      Love them both equally!!!

    20. 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.

    21. 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

      1. 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.

      2. 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.

    22. 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.

      1. 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.

      2. 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.

    23. 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.

      1. 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

      2. 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

    24. 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

    25. 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.

    26. Eminem fell off and has no integrity as far as Hip Hop goes anymore. But hey he’s making a lot of money right?????

    27. 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.

    28. 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.

    29. 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

    30. 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………….

      1. 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

    31. 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.

    32. 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
