Eminem and Rihanna are preparing to team up for a joint US tour, named 'The Monster Tour.'
Eminem first confirmed the news in an interview with XXL Magazine, saying, "There are some shows coming up with Rihanna. It's a three-city tour: New York, LA and Detroit coming in August. 'The Monster Tour'." The two later celebrated the news on Twitter.
“@Eminem: NYC/DET/LA this August with @Rihanna! #TheMonsterTour - http://t.co/7tc3C6gChC” OH IM THERE!!!!!

The tour is named after the pair's recent collaboration on single 'The Monster', which is taken from Eminem's eighth album The Marshall Mathers LP 2.

The two first teamed up in 2010 on 'Love The Way You Lie', which reached No.1 worldwide and went 11x Platinum in the US. In an interview with Rolling Stone last year, Eminem said 'The Monster' was "not necessarily a sequel, as much as it is a revisitation... To me, it's more about the vice, and it's more about the nostalgia."
Eminem is currently touring Australia with Kendrick Lamar and J.Cole. As for his tour with Rihanna, the dates and specific venues are yet to be confirmed.
