Eminem has teased details of his hugely anticipated July gig at London's Wembley stadium, discussing his love of working with live musicians at his shows, ahead of tickets going on sale for the gig tomorrow.
Earlier this week, the US rapper announced the one-off summer show at the huge London venue, which will take place on 11 July 2014, and where he will become the first ever hip hop star to perform a headline gig at the stadium. In an interview with Radio One's Zane Lowe this week, the US superstar revealed he would be working with a live band at the shows and says that his upcoming gig will be 'explosive'
"It's definitely better, it definitely brings a whole new element to it," he told Lowe in the interview. "There are more things to do with your hands. It's a whole different energy, it's louder, it's more in your face, it's more explosive. For me, music is about feeling and energy and all that."
"We always try to mess around with the order of things," he continued. "There are certain songs that just, for some reason or another, they don't work as good live. You have to go with the ones that work best to perform live. Sometimes we'll [also] add ones in we haven't done in a while."
He also spoke of his awe at performing at such a huge venue, adding: "A lot of the times when we do the sound check I get to see the venue, but I know Wembley Stadium is huge."
Tickets for Eminem's Wembley Stadium gig go on sale tomorrow, 9 May 2014 at 9am. For more information, visit Gigwise Tickets.
