Rihanna and hip hop chart-topper Eminem
are hitting the road together this summer
for a string of joint stadium concerts,
promoter Live Nation announced
Wednesday.
The pair will kick off their Monster Tour at
the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles on August
7, before proceeding to New York on
August 16 and Eminem's hometown
Detroit on August 22.
Tickets go on sale March 28 to the general
public, with pre-sales beginning on
Thursday, Live Nation said in a statement
that did not specify whether additional
dates are in the pipeline.
"At this time, those are the only
confirmed dates," Live Nation spokesman
Victor Trevino told AFP by email.
Eminem and Rihanna have collaborated
four times in the recording studio in the
course of their musical careers, most
recently on "The Monster" off the
rapper's latest album, "The Marshall
Mathers LP 2."
Eminem hasn't performed in concert in
the United States since a Lollapalooza gig
in Chicago three years ago. Rihanna
meanwhile is starting work on her eighth
album on the heels of her 2013 Diamonds
World Tour.
Last year, Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z
premiered their Legends of the Summer
Stadium Tour in London before going on
to perform together before sell-out
crowds in 14 US and Canadian cities.
This year has seen rock legends Sting and
Paul Simon on tour together, while Kiss
and Def Leppard announced Monday
they'll be sharing the bill for the first time
on a 42-city North American tour that
starts June 23 in Utah.
