Eminem New Album Releasing July 2? Tour & Festival Dates 2013
Eminem rumors are swirling with everyone claiming they have the breaking news on a release date for Eminem's long awaited new record.
Earlier this month, Aftermath Entertainment posted a text-based image on Facebook that read "Something Big Is Coming." It included Eminem's name, and was followed by another post that read "New Eminem Album is coming very soon".
Detroit's Channel 955 radio station (Detroit is Eminem's home town) has released some new information a few days back.
The channel posted the breaking news on their Facebook page that Marshall's upcoming LP will hit stores in on July 2nd. Will it really happen? However, since then, they have announced that July 2nd is not an official release date.
In February, Eminem's manager Paul Rosenberg had mentioned that the album is due in stores anytime post Memorial day. So no one was sure if that meant May or a long wait after that.
Will he new record will definitely release in July?
This makes sense because his tour dates start in August, so that they his fans have the new record and can be familiar with the new songs when he performs.
He has confirmed dates Aug 15-25 in Europe and will close his time out there headlining this year's Reading and Leeds Festivals in the UK over the weekend August 23-25. Reading Festival have announced this year's Headliners which include Green Day, Biffy Clyro and Eminem. Also playing the festival this year are Fall Out Boy, System of a Down, Deftones, Bring Me The Horizon, Nine Inch Nails, New Found Glory, Frank Turner, Brand New, Skrillex, The Lumineers and more.
Rumors are circulating that Tyler the Creator, Kendrick Lamar will be the opening for Eminem for select tour dates and maybe the full tour, this is yet to be announced. 50 Cent is another name that has been circulating around as a potential guest act for Eminem's tour dates.
His tour dates currently start August 15th in Kiewit-Hasselt, Belgium and continue through Europe ending at the Leeds Festival on August 25th in Leeds, Great Britain, U.K.
There are not dates selected for U.S. tour yet, but a U.S. tour is expected after Eminem's new album is released.
When do you think the new Eminem album will officially drop?
