CaledonianGonzo Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago I mean if its true that Eminem isn't touring until the autumn then it also aligns towards what The Post was saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw him at V festival (rip) in 2011 and he was incredibly disappointing. Mimed all the way through. However, Rihanna (who ‘supported’ him) was surprisingly very good. 😬 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen him twice and he’s decent enough. I think of all the genres Hip Hop is the one that translates the worst to a live show but having seen a lot of rappers live he is better than most. First time was that chainsaw tour in the 2003 and I was 13 so would have lapped up anything he did back then so can’t judge fairly. I absolutely loved it at the time though. We were sat side of stage and I go a high five off Bizarre as they walked off, made my whole year back then. Wouldn’t care at all now. Saw him at Wembley as an adult maybe ten years ago and he was good. Dre came out for the encore which was fun and Odd Future were great in support.

I found Eminem to be good unless you directly saw what he was doing on stage and that took away some of the performance as you saw how much of it isn't actually live and it's been like that for a while.

4AssedMonkey Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I thought the chances of Eminem playing were slim (no pun intended) before the dates announced for October. Now I think it's non-existent. I'm not sure what I'd think about him headlining next year, or any year for that matter. Clearly a huge artist so I'm not saying he doesn't have the credentials to do it, but I'm not sure I'd bother watching him. Culturally, we've moved on so much since his million-selling prime and the lyrics from the early 00's stuff just seem childish and inappropriate for 2024-5. He'd be obliged to play the hits though, so suspect it might be a bit cringeworthy. I'm not huge on hip hop anyway, but would be nowhere near to top of my list. I've seen RTJ, De La Soul, Pharcyde and Jurassic 5 who would be near the top so it would inevitably pale in comparison. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see Eminem being someone who Glastonbury would book but he's undoubtedly the biggest deal as a hip hop artist and rapper if it happened that they could get.

Wildglastotheo Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Who else is left now for the third slot? Bruce, Billy Joel both been ruled out, Eminem and lady Gaga looking unlikely now. which leaves Stevie Wonder or Rhianna? Any other contenders remaining?

Seen him twice, T 2011 and Reading 13. Thought he was brilliant both times, don’t get the hate. He uses a backing track but rappers tend to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaga is still technically in the game with LG7 coming and rumours of a stadium tour - but she's pretty much an outside bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
