Eminem is in talks to play a headline slot at the most iconic UK summer festival.
Glastonbury has a unique status not only in the UK but across the world. To hit the Pyramid stage is an honour and a recognition of the artist’s influence. But for Eminem is the only place that can fit his talent. And the one that has never seen him so far.
The British press reports that the Glastonbury people pursue Marshall and have a good chance to sign him up. The Sun quotes the source:
Eminem is wanted for a huge slot at Glastonbury and has been in talks for yonks. His dates all line up and if they can get him on board, it will be the first time he has ever played at the festival. Eminem is one of the greatest rappers on the planet and to have him down on the farm would be incredible. There is also a huge nostalgia factor with Eminem. He has been around for over 25 years and everyone knows his music. It would be a really special moment, not just for him but for everyone at the festival. The organisers think he will sign on the dotted line and they can get things moving.
If lucky, we can see Marshall perform for the excited crowd at Worthy Farm for the first time. Yes, it is hard to believe, but there are still things Em has not done yet. And to play at Glastonbury is one of them. Hopefully, it will change next June.
Anyway, this story looks more solid than the Rolling Loud people teasing Eminem’s presence as a “legacy act” and then deleting all traces of the conversation.
