“Eminem is one of the greatest showmen in the world, with a fiercely loyal fan base that continues to grow with each tour,” promoter Paul Dainty said in a press statement. “He is no stranger to selling out stadium shows, but he is continuing to break attendance records across both New Zealand and Australia, which is just phenomenal.”
Shady Records artist Boogie, Eminem’s Bad Meets Evil partner Royce Da 5’9 and Australian Hip Hip group The Hilltop Hoods also performed at the show. The event was the final stop of Slim Shady’s 2019 Rapture Tour, which began in February.
