Eminem – THE REAL SLIM SHADY

Eminem, the rap god himself, is set to make a triumphant return to the stage. Known for his lightning-fast lyrics, raw emotion, and powerful performances, Eminem’s concerts are unforgettable. Ever since his scintillating performance with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, and Kendrick Lamar at the 2022 NFL Super Bowl, hip-hoppers around the world have been eager for news of a tour. The ‘Real Slim Shady’ has not toured the UK since 2018.

His shock appearances at Ed Sheeran’s show in Detroit and Terence Crawford’s ring walk last year have fuelled the rumour mill with the likelihood of a tour coming soon. After performing his top hit ‘Lose Yourself’, fans are on tenterhooks for an announcement to be made.

Drake – THE WAIT IS OVER?

Since releasing ‘Search & Rescue’ in April 2023, Drake has been on tour with 21 Savage, which came to an end in October, meaning a world tour is on the cards. Nothing has been confirmed yet, however, fans are highly speculating the pair will make their way across the Atlantic.

The hip-hop superstar has now teased his fans twice with his new album ‘For All The Dogs’. On Wednesday 26th July 2023, Drake told crowds at Madison Square Garden that he was dropping an album in ‘the next couple weeks’. This sent social media into meltdown as rumoured featured artists include Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, and Jorja Smith.

His last performance in the UK was a surprise appearance alongside Future at Wireless Festival 2021 and the last UK tour was in 2019, so fans are well overdue a visit from the Canadian star.

Rihanna – RETURN TO THE STAGE

Robyn R. Fenty, otherwise known as Rihanna, has been teasing her return to the stage since her Super Bowl performance in February 2023 where she revealed she was pregnant with her second child. With this being the reason, her 2023 tour didn’t come to fruition. We’re hoping 2024 could be the year she announces her return.

It’s been over seven years since the nine-time Grammy winner released her last album and ‘The Navy’ are going crazy on social media wanting to hear any updates regarding her long-awaited R9 album. The Barbadian superstar has hinted at new music telling Vogue in 2023 “I want it to be this year”. As she hasn’t toured the UK since the release of her album ‘Anti’ in 2016, fans in the UK should be ready and waiting for her to make a return to the stage.

Adele – BACK ON HOME TURF

As the curtains close on Adele’s Las Vegas residency, attention has quickly turned to the possibility of an upcoming world tour. The thought of hearing her hugely successful hits live, such as ‘Someone Like You’, ‘Hello’, and ‘Rolling In The Deep’ has got music enthusiasts worldwide hooked.

She last played in stadiums across the UK during Adele Live 2017 and also performed at the Brit Awards in 2022. So, after a long break not touring the UK, her fans are eager to see Adele back on home turf and we predict tickets will be a quick sell-out. Register your interest to ensure you don’t miss out.
