Eminem to finally play Slane

Details have been announced of another major gig at Slane Castle next year.

Eminem will finally play the historic County Meath venue on August 17 - eight years after he cancelled a concert there.

Bon Jovi has already been confirmed for Slane on June 15.

Tickets for Eminem's date go on sale one week from today, at a cost of €79.50.

Speaking after the announcement, Lord Henry Mountcharles, owner of Slane Castle, said: "In 2005 I said Eminem was a stunning artist. He is even more so today. I am thrilled he is going to play Slane."
