What Are Redditors Saying About Eminem’s World Tour?
We took to r/Eminem to find out the views of stans on Eminem’s world tour.
One of the most upvoted comments read, “I don’t think he’ll tour, hope I’m wrong. He will probably do a couple of shows like in the Middle East, Austin, and some pop-ups in Detroit at other artists’ shows. But a full-fledged tour? As Jay Z once said, Em is a notorious non-tourer.”
Another user said, “If we were to get one, I think it would have been this year. Sadly, with the birth of his first grandson and the buzz of TDOSS dying down, the time has passed for a tour. If he’s doing one, I’d imagine it to be next year, but I wouldn’t hope for one this year at all.”Another user joked, saying “Eminem” and “world tour” in the same sentence 🤣”
