Such is the all-encompassing reach of Eminem that even someone as cutesy-pie as Taylor Swift covers his songs. No doubt there will be repercussions, but right now, for us, the news is that Marshall Mathers is here next week, for his first ever gig in Northern Ireland.

Best prepare yourselves – the man has been slaying audiences in the US on his latest tour. According to reports, Mathers plays a lean'n'mean 90-minute set, throwing down all the tracks that you'd expect and want to hear, from Won't Back Downto Lose Yourself,from Without Meto The Real Slim Shady, from Stanto Love The Way You Lie.

Special guests include Kaiser Chiefs, Jimmy Eat World, Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All, and Eminem’s partners in rap and rhyme, D12.
