Shady set to thrill Slane revellers after eight year wait

The stage is set, the tickets are all sold, and now, eight years after he was first due to perform there, Eminem will headline Slane Castle tomorrow.

Time has not affected the rapper’s popularity and fans are travelling from some 13 countries and paying for accommodation and exclusive tickets to see the artist that Slane Castle owner Henry Mountcharles called “a poet of his generation”.

“VIP tickets have been purchased by people travelling from America, Gibraltar, Italy, France, the UK, the Scandinavian countries, and even India. We have never had such a large number of nationalities before. Eminem clearly has massive appeal and I amreally looking forward to tomorrow’s show,” Mountcharles declared.
