Second of two sold-out shows plagued by poor sound.
Eminem’s second Wembley Stadium show took place last night (12 July), but was once again marred by sound issues which left many fans demanding their money back.
The two shows marked the first time a rapper has ever headlined the venue, and the 35-song setlist included a surprise appearance from Dr. Dre on both nights.
However many fans, particularly those in the seated area of the 90,000 capacity arena, have complained of not being able to hear the performance properly.
The sound issues were first reported by fans and critics after the first of Eminem’s shows on 11 July, with Club Wembley tweeting to assure fans that they were “aware of sound issues”, and that they will “update you in due course.”
The account then directed many unhappy fans to email info@wembleystadium.com, but the email response they received, which merely said that “best efforts were made to rectify sound and to contact promoters”, before apologising for the inconvenience, was not enough for those who felt their experience was ruined.
Heavily disappointed with eminem at Wembley tonight. Sound system was awful. Can you inform me on how to receive a refund @wembleystadium?

Wembley Stadium are yet to confirm whether or not fans will be given a refund. Eminem has not commented on the sound issues.
