Eminem To Tour Bahrain, Abu Dhabi And Riyadh
Guess who’s back? 15-time Grammy Award-winning rapper Eminem is set to return to the Middle East, touring Bahrain, the UAE and KSA
United Arab Emirates
The 15-time Grammy-winning rapper will perform at the Yasalam After-Race Concerts at Etihad Park during the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix on December 7. This will be only the third time Eminem has graced the stage in the capital, after visiting in 2012 and 2019.
After-race concerts draw a number of star-studded line ups every year, with previous notable performers such as Rihanna, Beyoncé, and Pitbull. This year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is already highly anticipated, as seven-time formula one World Drivers’ Champion Lewis Hamilton will be leaving Mercedes, the team he has raced for since he was 13, to move to Ferrari, so this will be the last time fans get to see Hamilton race for Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 before he joins Ferrari in 2025. The event will be exclusive to Abu Dhabi Grand Prix ticket holders, and the three-day event will also see performances from Maroon 5 and Muse.
Bahrain
The tour will continue to Bahrain on December 10th at Al Dana Amphitheatre. Tickets go on sale Monday, July 22 at 4pm. The venue is known for hosting grand events, promising fans an amazing atmosphere. The venue will also host SZA and Calvin Harris in the coming months.
Saudi Arabia
Fans in Saudi Arabia should also be excited, as it has just been announced that the rapper will return to headline the MDLBEAST Sound Storm 2024 in Riyadh this December. The music festival will take place on December 12 to 14, and while it hasn’t been confirmed which day he will take the stage, one day access tickets on its website have already sold out.
